There lives a little boy in the house next door to me 生活有一个小男孩在隔壁的房子给我

And as usual his mommy was gone 和往常一样他妈妈不见了

So he came over this morning and sat down next to me 于是，他来到了今天早上和旁边坐了下来给我

And asked why does mommy leave me alone 并问为什么妈妈离我远点

But he'll find out someday why his mommy stays away 但他会发现有一天，为什么他的妈妈保持距离

And why a woman needs arms to hold her tight 为什么一个女人需要的武器来抱紧她

And that she would stay at home and not leave him all alone 而且她会留在家里，而不是让他独自一人

If his daddy didn't stay away at night 如果他的爸爸并没有离开，晚上

He said I wish I had a mommy like you just like you 他说，我希望我有一个妈妈喜欢你就是喜欢你

To hold me in her arms the way you do 把我抱在怀里你的方式

When I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep 当我躺下睡觉，我祈祷上帝，我的灵魂，以保持

And I ask for a mommy like you 我问你这样的妈妈

   

Though a tear fell from his eye he was trying not to cry 虽然从他眼中的泪水落在他试图不让自己哭

I said don't worry everything will be all right 我说不用担心，一切都会好起来的

So you just wait and see and I held him close to me 所以，你就等着瞧吧，我抱着他靠近我

Just like I held his daddy last night 就像我握着他的爸爸昨晚

He said I wish... 他说，我希望...

And I ask for a mommy like you 我问你这样的妈妈
