Oh Mother

You remind me of my mother's

Greatest fear, mm-hm

Gave her life for my protection

Through the years, from my tears

Then you came along and tore it down

With your deception, you let me drown

And all the tears my mother saved

Hit me like a wave, mm

Let's go, bitch (oh)

Oh

Oh, beware the woman scorned

She would move a mountain for me

Cross the driest desert for her child

Like a hurricane

Hеr pain would rip the roots out from the ground

Oh, sing for me (what you holdin' onto?)

Sing for mе (Mama's comin' for you)

Mother's comin' (keep your head up, baby)

Keep your head (I will hold you steady)

And, oh, it hit me like a wave

I have been betrayed (sing for me, girl)

Mother's comin'

Whoa

Sing

Mother's comin'

Sing for me

Baby, I know he cut you bad (cut me deep)

You can run away, save what you had (I can't run no more)

Maybe there's a world where you can let him stay (no)

Boys stay boys but men can change, yeah (he's no man of mine)

Keep the sunshine on your face (no)

This is real life, God knows love ain't perfect

(I known love ain't perfect, trust me, Mother)

Mother, I don't know where to start

If I stay, will he break my heart?

Maybe there's still time to explain

But I'm too tied up in my pain now

Start to sweat, it's hard to breathe

I cry for help, could you get here any faster?

Any faster

Sing for me (what you holdin' onto?)

Sing for me (Mama's comin' for you)

Mother's comin' (keep your head up, baby)

Keep my head (I will hold you steady)

Hold me steady (what you holdin' onto?)

I'm so heavy, Mother (Mama's comin' for you)

Hold me steady (keep your head up, baby)

Oh (I will hold you steady)

And, oh, it hit me like a wave

I have been betrayed, mm-hm

I need your protection

I need your protection (you have my protection)

You do (you have my protection)

Come on, give me your protection (you have my protection)

I need your protection (you have my protection)

You, you
