Madonna Mother And Father -21st Lyrics

There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed Id live forever
There was a time I prayed to jesus christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice

Nobody else would ever take the place of you
Nobody else could do the things that you could do
No one else I guess could hurt me like you did
I didnt understand, I was just a kid

Bridge:

Oh mother, why arent you here with me
No one else saw the things that you could see
Im trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father, you know Im not so free

Chorus:

Ive got to give it up
Find someone to love me
Ive got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
Ive got to give it up
Find someone to love me
Ive got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for

There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed Id live forever
There was a time I prayed to jesus christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice

(bridge)
(chorus)

My mother died when I was five
And all I did was sit and cry
I cried and cried and cried all day
Until the neighbors went away

They couldnt take my loneliness
I couldnt take their phoniness
My father had to go to work
I used to think he was a jerk

I didnt know his heart was broken
And not another word was spoken
He became a shadow of
The father I was dreaming of

I made a vow that I would never need
Another person ever
Turned my heart into a cage
A victim of a kind of rage

I gotta give it up
(repeat twice)

(chorus)

Find someone that I can care for
Find someone that I can care for

Ive got to give it up
(repeat five times)

Ive got to let it go
Ive got to give it up
Oh mother, oh father
Ive got to give it up

I gotta give it up
(repeat six times)
