You're gonna have to take him
away cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy
a good boy
Mamma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy
And now he's sleeping at home in
his rocket ship bed
Why does being good
feel so damn bad
He stares at a picture
of his run away dad
Shines his flashlight steady
Kid you're such an easy target
without a rebel bone
You're so compliant
quiet as a stepping stone
Did he give you the love
you were yearning for
Did he give you what you need
You're gonna have
to take him away
cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy
a good boy
Mamma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy
good boy
Have you heard the headlines on
Blackberry street
There lived a kid out
there in number 523
He came home smelling
of old shaving cream
He began to act out
He became a little devil
BB gun to the birds
And he spit out the F
and the S and D words
His mamma asked the
priest and the priest replied
He used to be an angel
mam ya I don't know why
You're gonna have
to take him away
cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy
a good boy
Mamma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy
good boy
You can keep a secret right
Right I can trust you with my life
Right I don't get no sleep
at night night
You can keep a secret right
You're gonna have to take him
away, cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy
a good boy
Mamma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy
good boy
Take him away
cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy
a good boy
Mamma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy
a good boy
