Suffer the Little Children Songtext
von Pat Benatar

Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you
I hope your suffering was brief
I hope the angels that watch over all little children
Came for you and took you someplace beautiful and sweet

Ahh
Suffer the little children

Dear Melissa, I often think of you
Everytime I hold my baby in my arms
I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too
I know they miss you, miss you since you′re gone

Ah-ah-ah
Suffer the little children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them


Every mother's nightmare
Will it ever end?
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men

You who done the deed better do some prayin′ too
Better hope that God's forgivin', like they say
′Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list
Of the evils that men do
And your name′s right up there
I heard 'em say

Ah-ah-ah
Suffer the little children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them

Every mother′s nightmare
Will it ever end?
Suffer the little children
At the hands of evil men
