Lyric content

A girl threatens to run away if her mother will not allow her to do what she wants, but she is advised against it by another girl (the song's narrator) whose circumstances turned tragic after having done the same. After a heated disagreement with her mother over a boy, the narrator packed some clothes and left home. She forgot about the boy immediately after and thought about her mother's love and care. Before the narrator could return home, her mother died of a broken heart.
