Lyrics
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
Expressing concern that the upbringing by the mother might not have been correct or suitable.
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
Reiterating the fear that the mother's way of raising the individual was incorrect.
'cause I pick up my head, can't tell where I belong
Feeling lost and unable to find a sense of belonging or direction.
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad
Experiencing intense emotional pain or distress.
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad
Repeating the distress and indicating that something is deeply troubling.
I have a yearning for something that I never had
Longing for something that has never been experienced or possessed.
Oh, sometimes I feel my life has come and then it's gone
Feeling that life is fleeting, passing by too quickly.
Sometimes I feel my life has come and gone
Reiterating the fleeting nature of life.
I live in this world but I'm only looking on
Feeling detached from the world, observing but not fully participating.
I can't understand, it's too far over my head
Feeling unable to comprehend something, finding it beyond understanding.
I can't understand, it's too far over my head
Reiterating the inability to understand, feeling overwhelmed.
I'm living the life but I'm really dying instead, yeah
Living a life outwardly but feeling inwardly depleted or dying emotionally or spiritually.
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
Repeating the concern that the mother's upbringing might have been incorrect.
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
Reiterating the fear of having been raised improperly by the mother.
'cause I lift up my head and I can't tell where I belong
Expressing confusion and an inability to find one's place or purpose.
Momma Momma Momma Momma, something's terribly wrong
Highlighting a strong feeling that something is significantly wrong.
