Mama why do you lie

Denied me once again and made me cry

 Mama I came to you to ask you why

 Mama Mama I don't wanna die

Mama I don't wanna hurt no more

My heart has now grown strong

My soul has grown pure

Grown oh so pure

Oh so pure

Grown oh so pure

 Mama why can't you see

Please don't run and hide

Just take one look at me

Mama where have you gone

You left me all alone alone to carry on

Mama, oooo, oooo

I didn't mean to make you cry

Sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all

Don't you go away,  don't you go away

 Don't go away
