How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad
How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad
Will they understand
How much I love that man
And oh, will they ever know
How much he's hurt me so
I know I was a fool
To be loved by you
But I've got to find a way
But what can I say
(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad
(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad
He told me that he loved me
And that our love was true
Oh, but when we made me mother-to-be
He disappeared on me
Now I'm so ashamed
'Cause you quit the game
And left me here to be
In all this misery
(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad
(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad
That I've been bad
Should I go up to mama
And say, ""Guess what I've done"" No-no
Or disappear in the night
And let them notice I'm gone No-no
Or should I go out and do
Somethin' I wouldn't want to No-no
Or stand up like a big girl
And tell 'em about me and you
(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad
(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad
Should I go up to mama
And say, ""Guess what I've done"" No-no
Or disappear in the night
And let them notice I'm gone No-no
Or should I go out and do
Somethin' I wouldn't want to No-no
Or stand up like a big girl
And shout about me and you
(Somebody please) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me explain, help me explain) That I've been bad
(This misery) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Oh, please) That I've been bad
(Daddy will be so terrified) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Yes, he will) That I've been bad
(Mom's so upset that she'll wanna die) How can I tell my mom and dad
(Help me) That I've been bad
(How can I tell them I'm a mother-to-be)
How-how-how-how I've been bad
(Help me explain to them he does love me)
How-how-how-how I've been bad
