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
