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
He didn't make school today
And I wonder why he never wants
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)
He'll be gone before too long (If you would only listen)
(I know that he would listen too)
He didn't make school today (I know that he would
And I wonder why he never wants
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
He didn't make school today
(I know that he would listen too)
And I wonder why he never wants
Said you made him that way
If you could only see he's just like you
