Apples Don't Fall Far from the Tree Cher
Lyrics
When I was five
I put on Mama`s high heel shoes
And paint my face
And dance across the living room
In Ruby`s place
Well the music was always playing
Girls laugh while the men were sayin`
Chorus:
Apples don`t fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don`t fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama`s tears
When they said in a few years
I`d be something to see
At seventeen I had me a diamond
And a string of pearls
The men said they preffered me
To the other girls
They took me to the best places
But I could read it on their faces
(chorus)
Then when Mama died I made up my mind
To get on a Greyhound , get out of this town
And leave it all behind
But life goes on
A child of three smiles up at me
While she plays
The man I love has never heard of "Ruby`s Place"
When he holds her with affection
And he uses that old expression
(chorus)
I put on Mama`s high heel shoes
And paint my face
And dance across the living room
In Ruby`s place
Well the music was always playing
Girls laugh while the men were sayin`
Chorus:
Apples don`t fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don`t fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama`s tears
When they said in a few years
I`d be something to see
At seventeen I had me a diamond
And a string of pearls
The men said they preffered me
To the other girls
They took me to the best places
But I could read it on their faces
(chorus)
Then when Mama died I made up my mind
To get on a Greyhound , get out of this town
And leave it all behind
But life goes on
A child of three smiles up at me
While she plays
The man I love has never heard of "Ruby`s Place"
When he holds her with affection
And he uses that old expression
(chorus)
