Oh Mom, I Hate to Go!

My bag is packed

I’m ready to go

I’m standing here

By the door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breaking

It’s early morn

The bus is waiting

It’s blowing it’s horn

Already I’m so bored that I could cry

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you’ll bake for me

Hold me like you’ll never let me go

Cause I’m leaving to go to high school

Don’t know if I’ll be back again

Oh Mom

I hate to go!

It’s been so long since I’ve been there

I feel excited

But I’m scared

I really wish that I could just stay home

But I’ll wear a mask

I’ll wash my hands

Six feet apart

Is where I’ll stand

I hope through all of this that I will grow

So don’t kiss me

But smile for me

Tell me that you’ll cook for me

You can’t hold me

But never let me go

Cause I’m leaving to go to high school

Don’t know if I’ll be back again

Oh Mom

I don’t want to go!

High school’s just one big charade

An awkward, insecure parade

Everybody finding their own way

Friends will come

And friends will go

Yet no one wants to be alone

So when I’m faced with another lonely day

Kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you’ll pray for me

Hold me and

Never let me go

Cause I’m leaving to go to high school

Don't know if I’ll be back again

Oh Mom

I hate to go!
