Mother And Father Lyrics - American Life - Madonna

There was a time I was happy in my life 

There was time I believed I'd live forever 

There was a time that 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 didn't understand I was just a kid 

Oh mother why aren't you here with me 

No one else saw the things that you could see 

I'm trying hard to dry my tears 

Yes father you know I'm not so free

I got to give it up 

Find someone to love me 

I got to let it go 

Find someone that I can care for 

I got to give it up 

Find someone to love me 

I got to let it go 

Find someone that I can care for 

There was a time I was happy in my life 

There was time I believed I'd live forever 

There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ 

There was a time I had a mother it was nice 

Oh mother why aren't you here with me 

No one else saw the things that you could see 

I'm trying hard to dry my tears 

Yes father you know I'm not so free

I got to give it up 

Find someone to love me 

I got to let it go 

Find someone that I can care for 

I got to give it up 

Find someone to love me 

I got to let it go 

Find someone that I can care for 

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 neighbours went away 

They couldn't take my loneliness 

I couldn't take their phoniness 

My father had to go to work 

I used to think he was a jerk 

I didn't 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 

I gotta give it up 

I gotta give it up 

I've got to give it up 

Find someone to love me 

I've got to let it go 

Find someone that I can care for 

I got to give it up 

Find someone to love me 

I got to let it go 

Find someone that I can care for 

Find someone that I can care for 

Find someone that I can care for 

I got to give it up 

I got to give it up 

I got to give it up 

I got to give it up 

I got to give it up 

I got to give it up 

I got to let it go 

I got to give it up 

Oh mother 

Oh father 

I gotta give it up 

I gotta give it up 

I gotta give it up 

I gotta give it up 

I gotta give it up 

I gotta give it up 

I gotta give it up
