Mother lyrics - David Bowie

(originally by John Lennon)

Mother, you had me but I never had you

Oh, I, I wanted you but you didn't want me

So I, I just gotta tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me but I never left you

Oh, I needed you, you didn't need me

So, I, I, I just gotta tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Children, please don't do what I have done, oh, no

Oh, I, I couldn't walk but I tried to run, oh, oh

So I, I, I gotta tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, no, don't go

Daddy, daddy, daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

No, no, no (Mama, don't go)

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home
