You're gonna have to take him away, cause he don't wanna leave
|
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
|
Mamma's crying out, "Where's he hiding?"
|
Charlie's such a good boy.
|
|
And now he's sleeping at home in his rocket ship bed
|
Why does being good feel so damn bad?
|
He stares at a picture of his run away dad
|
Shines his flashlight steady.
|
Kid, you're such an easy target, without a rebel bone.
|
You're so compliant, quiet as a stepping stone.
|
Did he give you the love you were yearning for?
|
Did he give you what you need?
|
|
You're gonna have to take him away, cause he don't wanna leave
|
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
|
Mamma's crying out, "Where's he hiding?"
|
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy.
|
|
Have you heard the headlines on Blackberry street
|
There lived a kid out there in number 523
|
He came home smelling of old shaving cream
|
He began to act out.
|
He became a little devil, BB gun to the birds
|
And he spit out the F! and the S! and D! words
|
His mamma asked the priest and the priest replied,
|
"He used to be an angel, mam, ya, I don't know why."
|
|
You're gonna have to take him away, cause he don't wanna leave
|
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
|
Mamma's crying out, "Where's he hiding?"
|
Charlie's such a good boy.
|
|
You can keep a secret right? Right.
|
I can trust you with my life? Right.
|
I don't get no sleep at night, night.
|
You can keep a secret right?
|
|
You're gonna have to take him away, cause he don't wanna leave
|
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
|
Mamma's crying out, "Where's he hiding?"
|
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy.
|
|
Take him away, cause he don't wanna leave
|
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
|
Mamma's crying out, "Where's he hiding?"
|
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy.
