Oh Mother

Oh Mother


Oh mother why'd you yell at me
And make me feel like dirt
Mother what did I ever do
To make you hate me so
I rarely got in trouble
I was usually good in school
But you made me feel like a fool
I was smart and I was funny
But you never said a thing
You never once said "I'm proud of you"
You never once said I was pretty
The only things you noticed
Were my screw ups and my failures
Oh mother why do you hate me
Why do you always put me down
All I did was love you
I didn't know that was a crime
