Because the origami didn't work
We gave you dancing lessons
Because your dancing lessons made you bored
We bought you a guitar
Because you said it made your fingers sore
We found you a pony
Because the pony broke your leg and ran away
We got you drums
But the drums annoyed our neighbor so
We gave you cooking lessons and
The cooking lessons made you fat
We bought you running shoes
If you hear this
Please we love you, Tommy
We know it was never about
Origami
ย
Because you took the shoes and ran away
We gave them your description
Now we haven't heard a thing in weeks
Because we don't know where you are
We're putting out this song
Because we think that you might hear
And know where you belong
So what did we do wrong?
If you hear this
Please we love you, Tommy
Please come home we've
Left your room exactly, exactly
ย
And if you ever hear this song
Know we send our love
Take your origami skills
And make a paper dove
Send a message home
We promise not to teach you
We don't care what you've done
We hope that this will reach you
If you hear this
Please we love you, Tommy
We won't ask you anything
We won't be angry
