It's that time of the season

When the blood runs hot

Not one of the fathers

Of the churches came

For a motherless child in the wild, wild city

C#m
It could happen to me

It could happen to you

It's the luck of the draw

It's the blow of the dice

She took too many daddies

Took too many home
C#m
Tryna find the one, someone else's son

She couldn't wander those streets alone
