I was born to be mothered In that sense, nothing has changed I now wail when I'm troubled I don't grow up, I just parody myself I used to hear your voice every day So now when I hear you, it freaks me the f** out Otherwise, I'd forget it So when you speak, it comes flooding, flooding back to me I don't want a life ruled by money But when you're poor, it's hard not to think about
I don't want to change myself to impress you But when you're lonely, it's hard not to do I'm not in it to get big But saying that, I'm pretty scared of just being forgotten I wouldn't want to sell my soul But just because it doesn't feel like I've got one I was born to be mothered In that sense, nothing has changed I will retreat with my brothers When maternity has slaves
