They consisted of schoolmates Shirley Owens (later Shirley Alston-Reeves), Doris Coley (later Doris Kenner-Jackson), Addie "Micki" Harris (later Addie Harris McPherson), and Beverly Lee. They have been described as either the first African-American girl group to top the Billboard Hot 100, or the first girl group overall, with the song "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". more »

I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone
I'm gonna run away
Don't!!

Cause you can never go home anymore

Listen.  Does this sound familiar?  You wake up every morning, go to 
School every day, spend your nights on the corner just passing the time away.  
Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy.  Then a miracle-a boy.  And that's 
Called "glad."  Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart.  
But she said I was too young to be in love and the boy and I would have to part.  
And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried-she told me it 
Was not really love but only my girlish pride.  And that's called "bad."

(Never go home anymore)

Now if that's happened to you, don't let this.  I packed my clothes and 
Left home that night.  Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right.  And 
You know something funny?? I forgot that boy right away.  Instead I remember 
Being tucked in bed and hearing my mama say

(Hush, little baby, don't you cry)
(Mama won't go away)
Mama!!!

(You can never go home anymore)
Mama!!!
I can never go home anymore

Do you ever get that feeling and want to kiss and hug her?  Do it now
Tell her you love her.  Don't do to your mom what I did to mine.  She grew so lonely 
In the end.  Angels picked her for a friend.

(Never)
And I can never go home (never) anymore
And that's called "sad".
