Intro: (2x)
Don’t beg don’t cry to your children
Don’t even cry to your papa
Don’t try to beg your people
Don’t even cry to your mama
Chorus: Heaven is too far away tonight
Heaven is too far away… tonight
Int: (2x)
Don’t laugh don’t scream to your children
Don’t even cry to your sister…
Don’t talk don’t play with the children
Cause you ain’t gonna get my heart
Back to: Chorus
Coda: (2x)
