My mama told me everything, gave me her life |
|
But Mama never told me that I would be a wife |
|
|
|
My father taught me everything, taught me wrong from right |
|
Oh Daddy get me out of here, I cannot deal with life |
|
|
|
And if you see my sisters, they are small and gold |
|
They don't believe a word you say, they don't believe in soul |
|
|
|
And I from a country land, where beauty only grows |
|
You know I'd love to leave someday, I dare not ever go |
|
|
|
I don't need anybody |
|
But I want someone |
|
|
|
You're gonna need somebody, or you'll end up alone |
|
|
|
Perhaps I'll be a bird one day, if I'm good enough |
|
And I'll get up and fly away and give up all this stuff |
|
|
|
And I'll give them to a father, he'll know the same as you |
|
As every human is unique, so every thought is too |
|
|
|
And Sonny Boy's awful nice, kept his parents clean |
|
And Sonny never told a lie til the day that he met me |
|
|
|
And if you see my sisters, they are small and gold |
|
They won't believe a word you say, they don't believe in soul |
|
|
|
You're gonna need somebody |
|
You're gonna want someone |
|
|
|
You're gonna need somebody, or you'll end up alone |
|
|
|
My mama taught me everything, gave me her life |
|
Well Mama never told me that I would be a wife |
|
|
|
My father gave me everything, taught me wrong from right |
|
Oh Daddy get me out of here, I cannot deal with life |
|
|
|
Perhaps I'll be a bird one day, if I'm good enough |
|
Then I'll give up and fly away and give up all this stuff |
|
|
|
And if you see my sisters, they are small and gold |
|
They don't believe a word you say, they don't believe in soul |
