MOMMA, MOMMA
Written by Melanie Safka (Carlin Music Corp)

From the album BORN TO BE (1968)

Momma, Momma, I fear you reared me wrong

Momma, Momma, I fear you reared me wrong

'Cause I pick up my head, can't tell where I belong

Momma, Momma, something's hurting me bad

Momma, Momma, something's hurting me bad

I have a yearning for something that I never had

Oh, sometimes I feel my life has come and then it's gone

Sometimes I feel my life has come and gone

I live in this world but I'm only looking on

I can't understand, it's too far over my head

I can't understand, it's too far over my head

I'm living a life but I'm really dying instead, yeah.

Momma, Momma, I fear you reared me wrong

Momma, Momma, I fear you reared me wrong

'Cause I lift up my head and I can't tell where I belong

Momma, Momma,

Momma Momma, something's terribly wrong
