Mama & Papa
I have prayed
I have prayed to your god
When I pray
I found your god or so I thought
He told me, "Let go, he will never come home"
So I've been runnin', I've been runnin', I've been runnin' on my own
Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy, and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Oh
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done prayin'
You've got much stronger than me
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin' to church
When you were goin' to church
I have sinned
I have sinned to your god
And when I sin
I found my god or so I thought
I had to let go, I don't wanna go home
And I keep runnin', keep runnin', keep runnin' on my own
Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy, and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Oh
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done prayin'
You've got much stronger than me, eh-eh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin' to church, hmm
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh) prai-, praise the lord (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, hallelujah
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh) hallelujah
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, hallelujah
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh) oh, amen (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Mama, mama, when I was born
Papa wondered, he left us alone
He was no good to you, mama
He had a higher agenda, oh
Mama, mama, we look alike
But don't you see you wanna squeeze my eyes?
It means nothing to mama
I got my mind out of papa, oh
Every time you're done prayin'
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin' to church
Amen
Amen
I have prayed to your god
When I pray
I found your god or so I thought
He told me, "Let go, he will never come home"
So I've been runnin', I've been runnin', I've been runnin' on my own
Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy, and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Oh
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done prayin'
You've got much stronger than me
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin' to church
When you were goin' to church
I have sinned
I have sinned to your god
And when I sin
I found my god or so I thought
I had to let go, I don't wanna go home
And I keep runnin', keep runnin', keep runnin' on my own
Mama, mama, when I was born

When you were goin' to church
Amen
Amen
