Why'd Momma Lie?
She gets up in the mornin'
Like a thousand times before
There's a different kind of feelin'
She knows there's got to be more
She's lived alone for such a long time
She feels like love has passed her by
She's lookin' for an answer
And not just a wonder why
What happened to the dreams?
Why didn't they turn out right?
What happened to the love?
That was to come when the time was right
Why did momma lie?
Why did momma lie?
Just a week ago she was seventeen
Or was that ten years or more?
Isn't it funny how time passes
She's not a child anymore
She goes down to the kitchen table
Pours another glass of wine
Looks out the open window
At the beautiful world and cries
What happened to my dreams?
Why didn't they turn out right?
What happened to the love?
That was to come when the time was right
Why did momma lie?
Why did momma lie?
Why oh momma why?
Why oh momma why?
Like a thousand times before
There's a different kind of feelin'
She knows there's got to be more
She's lived alone for such a long time
She feels like love has passed her by
She's lookin' for an answer
And not just a wonder why
What happened to the dreams?
Why didn't they turn out right?
What happened to the love?
That was to come when the time was right
Why did momma lie?
Why did momma lie?
Just a week ago she was seventeen
Or was that ten years or more?
Isn't it funny how time passes
She's not a child anymore
She goes down to the kitchen table
Pours another glass of wine
Looks out the open window
At the beautiful world and cries
What happened to my dreams?
Why didn't they turn out right?
What happened to the love?
That was to come when the time was right
Why did momma lie?
Why did momma lie?
Why oh momma why?
Why oh momma why?
