Mother
Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono
I, I wanted you, you didn't want me.
So i, I just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Father, you left me but I never left you.
I needed you, you didn't need me.
So i, I just gotta tell you, mm,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Children, don't do what I have done.
I couldn't walk and I tried to run.
So i, I just 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, don't go,
Daddy, come home.
Mama, don't go.
