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,
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,
Momma momma momma, yeah...
