That's the way, that's the way
I'm only tryin' to help you
She's the only one who never lies
Ooh, ooh, you'll be sorry in the mornin'
(Only tryin' to help you, yeah)
Mama had tears in her eyes
(Only tryin' to help you)
That's the way we destroy a baby
That's the way we destroy a baby
When we tell you
Shedding tears as big as the ocean
If I address you
I'm only tryin' to help you, baby
I'm only tryin' to help you, baby
That's the way we destroy a baby
Ooh, ooh, you'll be sorry in the mornin'
(Only tryin' to help you)
I'm only tryin' to help you, baby
I'm only tryin' to help you, baby
Shut it out of your mind
Mama had tears in her eyes
(Only tryin', only tryin' only tryin' to help you)
When we tell you
Call, caress me
Shut it out, shut it out
Shut it out of your mind
Induced to crime beyond emotion
That's the way, that's the way
(Only tryin' to help you)
Hey I woke up on my own this mornin'
(Only tryin' to help you)
She's the only one who never cries
That's the way we destroy a baby
Don't say you didn't hear us callin'
I'm only tryin' to help you
And you see me in the shadows fallin'
Don't say you didn't hear us callin'
Shut it out, shut it out
