Paul Simon - That's Why God Made The Movies lyrics

When i was born my mother died She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye I said "where you goin'?" "i'm just born" She said i'll only be gone for a while My mother loved to leave in style And that's why god made the movies So i laid around in my swaddling clothes Until the doctor came and turned out the light Then i packed my bag And my nametag And stole away into the night Hopeing things would work out alright That's why god made the movies Say you will, say you will Say you'll take me to your loving breast Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness The way the ladies sometimes do Say you won't, say you won't Say you won't leave me for no other man Say you'll love me for the way i am Say you will, say you will When i was born my mother died She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye And since that day I've made my way The notorious boy of the wild Adopted by wolves when he was a child That's why god. that's why god. That's why god made the movies
