Mrs. Callahan, is Paul Michael home

I can see the light on in his room

Mrs. Callahan, is he all alone

You say he needs to change his attitude



Can he come out to play

He didn't make school today

And I wonder why he never wants

To do the things you say



Did he blame you today

Said you made him that way

If you could only see he's just like you



Mrs. Callahan, does it hurt to know

You might have got it all wrong

Mrs. Callahan (Mrs. Callahan your son)

Don't you let him go

He'll be gone before too long (If you would only listen)

(I know that he would listen too)



Can he come out to play

He didn't make school today (I know that he would listen too)

And I wonder why he never wants

To do the things you say



Did he blame you today

Said you made him that way

If you could only see he's just like you



How'd ya let him get so out of hand

He was just a kid, Mrs. Callahan

You can try and say you did the best you can

Who you gonna blame, Mrs. Callahan



How'd you let him get so out of hand

He was just a kid and I know that he would listen too

Can he come out to play

He didn't make school today

(I know that he would listen too)

And I wonder why he never wants

To do the things you say



Did he blame you today

Said you made him that way

If you could only see he's just like you
