Mommy... 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 bid crack. Mommy, I was a good girl, I did what I was told, I
went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold! But Mommy,
when I went 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 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 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 always were 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 were new, I guess I'm not
going with Daddy, On 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 Chris, 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 all
I wanted to say is, "Mommy, I love you."
