Mommy...Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends 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 stright A's, I even got the gold!
But Mommy, when I went to school that day,
I never said good-bye,
I'm sorry Mommy, I had to go, but Mommy,
please don't cry. When Johnny shot the gun,
He hit me and another,
And all because of Johnny,
Got the gun from his older brother.
Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I love him very
much,
And please tell Sam ; my boyfriend; It wasn't
just a crush. And tell my little sister; That she is the only one
now, And tell my dear sweet grandmother; I'll be
waiting for her now, And tell my
wonderful friends; That they where always the
best; Mommy, I'm not the first,
I'm no better than 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.
Mommy, why'd it have to be me? No one deserves
this,
Mommy, warn the others, Mommy I left without a
kiss.
And Mommy, tell the doctors; 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 wanted to go to college, I wanted to try things
that where new,
I guess I'm not going with Daddy,
to that trip to the new 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 Sam; I'm sorry I had to cancel the
date.
I love you Mommy, I always have, I know; you
know its true, And Mommy, all I wanted
to say is, "Mommy, I love you."
