Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great crack.
Mommy, I was a good girl,
I did what I was told,
I went to school, I got straight as,
I even got the gold!
But Mommy, when I went to school that day,
I never said goodbye,
I'm sorry Mommy I had to go,
But Mommy, please don't cry.
When Johnny shot the gun,
He hit another, and me
And all because Johnny,
Got the gun from his older brother.
Mommy, please tell Daddy
That I love him very much,
And please tell Chris, my boyfriend,
That it wasn't just a crush.
And tell my litter sister
That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear Grandmother
I'll be waiting for her now,
And tell my wonderful friends
That they always were the best.
Mommy, I'm not the first,
I'm no better then the rest.
Mommy, tell my teachers
I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this,
And please don't let this pass.
I know they really did try,
I think I even saw a doctor,
Trying not to cry.
Mommy, I'm slowly dying,
With a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy, please remember,
I'm in heaven with the rest.
Mommy, I ran as fast as I could,
When I heard that crack.
Mommy, listen to me if you would,
I'm not coming back.
I wanted to go to college,
I wanted to try things that were new,
I guess I'm not going with Daddy
On that trip to the zoo.
I wanted to get married,
I wanted to have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress,
Mommy, I wanted to live.
But Mommy, I must go now,
The time is getting late.
Mommy, tell my boyfriend,
I'm sorry, but I had to cancel the date.
I love you Mommy, I always have,
I know you know it's true,
And Mommy, all I wanted to say is,
"Mommy, I love you."
