Kovacs – Mama & Papa lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have prayed, I have prayed 'til you're gone
When I pray, I found your god or so I thought
You told me "Let go, he will never come home"
So I've been running, I've been running, I've been running on my own

[Chorus 1]
Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Oh
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeese my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Oh

[Post-Chorus]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you [?]
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were going to church
When you were going to church

[Verse 2]
I have sinned, I have sinned to your god
And when I sinn, I found my god, or so I thought
I had to let go, I don't wanna go home
And I keep running, keep running, keep running on my own

[Chorus 1]
Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Oh
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeese my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Oh

[Post-Chorus]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you [?]
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were going to chur- hmm

[Bridge]
Prai- praise the lord (ho, ho)
Oh, hallelujah (ho, ho)
Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah (ho, ho)
Ho, amen (ho, ho)

[Chorus 2]
Mama, mama, when I was born
Papa wondered, he left us alone
He was no good to you, mama
He had a higher agenda, ho
Mama, mama, we look alike
But don't you see, you wanna squeese my eyes
It means nothing to mama
I got my mind out of poppa

[Post-Chorus]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you [?]
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were going to chur-

[Outro]
Praise the lord
Amen
