Naomi Yoon - Mama Lyrics

Wrinkled and wet, all curled up
Fetus protected by fluids and blood
Kick then crawl, cry then speak
Oh mama, skin to skin, protect me
Hit clenched fists against the air
Selfishness, it's never fair
Pierce the sky, cry so shrill
Oh mama, see my sins, love me still
But does she love herself?
What am I then? What am I then?
Can I learn by myself?
When will it end?
Oh it's hard, oh so common
'Cause it starts with the comments
How would I know?
Oh mama, shield me as I grow
Lanky arms, grow so thin
Rake your eyes across my skin
Is this what they're about?
Oh mama, didn't warn me now
But did she know herself?
What am I then? What am I then?
Can I learn by myself?
When will it end?
Oh, it's hard, oh so hard
When I look in the mirror, what do I see?
Oh it's hard, oh so hard
When mamas staring back at me
Oh, it's hard, oh so hard
When I look in the mirror, what do I see?
Oh it's hard, oh so hard
When mama's staring back at me
'Cause does she love herself?
What am I then? What am I then?
Can I learn by myself?
When will it end?
