I tried to give away my baby
I tried to give it to a lady who'd pay me
I tried to give away my baby
To a lady who would love it 'cause it looked like me
I'm not perfect but I'd make a good mother
Why do you hate me, is it because I love to love
Why does it matter if I give away my body
A woman's love is why we're all alive
And I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive
I tried to give away my child
Up to the skies, into the heavens, into the wild
I hope she wants me back, wants me back, I hope she wants me back
I hope she needs me in her life, in her life, in her life
Oh mama wants you baby, needs ya baby wants, loves ya, hugs ya, wants ya, needs ya, baby, wants ya
Mama wants you baby, needs ya baby wants ya, loves ya, hugs ya, wants ya, needs ya, baby, wants ya
Mama wants ya baby, needs ya baby, wants ya, loves ya, hugs ya, wants ya, needs ya,
Oh she wants you, and she needs you, and she loves you, and she needs you
