Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
'cause I pick up my head, can't tell where I belong

Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad
I have a yearning for something that I never had

Oh, sometimes I feel my life has come and then it's gone
Sometimes I feel my life has come and gone
I live in this world but I'm only looking on

I can't understand, it's too far over my head
I can't understand, it's too far over my head
I'm living the life but I'm really dying instead, yeah

Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
'cause I lift up my head and I can't tell where I belong
Momma Momma Momma Momma, something's terribly wrong
