Mother/Oh Mein Papa Lyrics

The disapproval that you hate (The word you learn to love)
From mother (That's mother)
Makes you always want to please (They teach you to respect)
Mother (Mother)
The one who keeps you warm (The one who keeps you warm)
And shelters you from harm (And shelters you from harm)
She'll open up your mind (Watch out she'll stunt your mind)
To make you good and make you kind ('Til you emulate her kind)
Is that mother?

Mother, mother

Downstairs I don't know (Downstairs I don't know)
Why I feel safe in my bed (If it's the springs in her bed)
When I know I'm alone (Or her joints I hear)
She must be watching overhead (Creaking overhead)
Mother

Mother

She'll kiss and say goodbye (She'll twist the words you speak)
If you want to go away (If she thinks you're near escape)
Mother (Mother)
So she gathers up her brood (So she clutches at her brood)
And smiles into their face (And sits across its face)
She beams down vital energy (She sucks up all its energy)
She gave us our first breath (And smothers their last breath)
Oh Mother (Mother)
Mother
The love you won't forget (The thing you grow to hate)

Oh my papa
To me you're so beautiful
Always the same
