Oh mother, look what they've done to me Oh mother, look what they've done to me Why all the shame and all the pain? Explain! Oh mother, why are they lookin' at me? Do you know what they're askin' me? He gave me a small broken doll But he stole - my soul He promised to give me - a doll And then he took away - my soul Oh mother, look what they've done to me Oh mother, look what they've done to me Oh mother, look what they've done to me Oh mother, didn't you hear me scream? Oh mother, didn't you see me bleed? There was so much shame and so much pain, explain! Oh mother, why can't you explain? What about those bruises on my brain? Oh mother, look what they've done to me Oh mother, look what they've done to me Oh mother, look what they've done to me Give me back my soul, mother, mother! Oh mother, look what they've done to me Oh mother, look what they've done to me He gave me a small broken doll But he stole - my soul Why all the shame and all the pain If you ever leave me alone again?
