Mama's Little Hero


   Every mom wants her little boy
   To grow up and be a hero
   Size years of age
   She planted the seed
   His young hands burdened
   Bewildered and confused
   How how the hell can a little boy satisfy a woman's needs

   Nobody told him what you are
   Not what she needs you to be
   She made him her lover
   But only through words
   Inappropriate...
   And high hopes and dreams
   She made him her babbot
   Wound him so tight that....
   Worrying about how to live up to
   Expectations so high

   Nobody told him what you are
   Not what she needs you to be
   Forever imprisoned by she
   And standards that he can not hold
   Till mamma's little hero sets himself free
   He'll always be a man child walking
   Forever frightened
   By those big scary words,
   Committment and need
   A deep distrust that he could never satisfy
   That a woman could love him for free

   Say be what you are
   Not what she needs you to be
   Be what You are
   Not what she needs you to be
   Mamma's little hero
