Madonna - Mother & Father Lyrics
There was a time I was happy in my lifeThere was a time I believed Id live foreverThere was a time I prayed to jesus christThere was a time I had a motherIt was niceNobody else would ever take the place of youNobody else could do the things that you could doNo one else I guess could hurt me like you didI didnt understand, I was just a kidBridge:Oh mother, why arent you here with meNo one else saw the things that you could seeIm trying hard to dry my tearsYes father, you know Im not so freeChorus:Ive got to give it upFind someone to love meIve got to let it goFind someone that I can care forIve got to give it upFind someone to love meIve got to let it goFind someone that I can care forThere was a time I was happy in my lifeThere was a time I believed Id live foreverThere was a time I prayed to jesus christThere was a time I had a motherIt was nice(bridge)(chorus)My mother died when I was fiveAnd all I did was sit and cryI cried and cried and cried all dayUntil the neighbors went awayThey couldnt take my lonelinessI couldnt take their phoninessMy father had to go to workI used to think he was a jerkI didnt know his heart was brokenAnd not another word was spokenHe became a shadow ofThe father I was dreaming ofI made a vow that I would never needAnother person everTurned my heart into a cageA victim of a kind of rageI gotta give it up(repeat twice)(chorus)Find someone that I can care forFind someone that I can care forIve got to give it up(repeat five times)Ive got to let it goIve got to give it upOh mother, oh fatherIve got to give it upI gotta give it up(repeat six times)
