Mama & Papa Songtext
von Kovacs

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 running, I've been running
I′ve been running 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? Ho
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? Ho


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 sinn, I found my god or so I thought

I had to let go, I don′t wanna go home
And I keep running, keep running
Keep running 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? Ho
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? Ho

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done prayin′
You've got much stronger than me, eh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin′ to chur- hmm


(Ho) Prai- (ho), praise the lord
(Ho) Oh, Hallelujah
(Ho) Halleluja
(Ho) Oh, Hallelujah
(Ho) Ho, amen (ho)

Mama, mama, when I was born
Papa wondered, he left us alone
He was no good to you, mama
He had a higher agenda, ho
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, ho

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 chur-

Amen
Amen
