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?
