lyrics

A few thought he looked normal,
but most of them complained.
Mother didn’t see, love made her blind.
She noticed something but she clearly didn’t mind.

Well their kid looked rather strange.
His head was purple and looked rearranged.
Doctor said, it’s not that bad.
He had a hard time to breathe
and so he has a little error in his head.

Hey mama… Hey mama,
they try to tell me that I do all wrong
but It’s just hard to come along.

Around the age of eight
he felt the need to separate,
himself from all the other kids at school.
'Cause he got really tired to be called a fool.

His older sister read this thing,
about some kids with a funny little name.
Recognize something in this?
Do you think I will ever admit that I see resemblance?

Hey mama… Hey mama,
I know that you just tried to help
but now I’m just too much aware of myself.

A few think he is normal,
but most think he is weird.
Mom is the only one who really knows,
the thing he really needs is to be left alone...
