hello mom this is flame
she’s a dancer we’ve decided to be married
in a week or so
i met her and we fell in love a month ago
i know it’s all quite sudden
but when it’s right you know
hello mom this is flame
she’s a lady she makes my life a poem not just a nursery rhyme
she showed me life and love i thought i’d never find
i know you’ll really like her just take a little time
mom she says i’m different from the other men
she’s known before
i guess there’s been a few
but mom she say’s i’m different
now can’t you tell
i know you’re going to like her when you know her like i do
hello mom this is flame
she’s only human and we’ve all done things before we wouldn’t do today
none of us is perfect like you always say
so why should i be worried that you’re gonna turn away
this will sound funny but she told me
you would not approve when i brought her home to you
now tell her that was silly like i told her
cause i knew how you would treat her
at least i thought i knew
hello mom this is flame
and she’s a person and her life before i knew her doesn’t matter now
you’ve already made your mind up anyhow
i cannot understand you being so unkind
but you’re welcome in our home any time you change your mind
