Madonna - Mother And Father Lyrics
There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice
Nobody else would ever take the place of you
Nobody else could do the things that you could do
No one else I guess could hurt me like you did
I didn't understand, I was just a kid
[Bridge:]
Oh mother, why aren't you here with me
No one else saw the things that you could see
I'm trying hard to dry my tears
[Chorus:]
I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice
[bridge]
[chorus]
My mother died when I was five
And all I did was sit and cry
I cried and cried and cried all day
Until the neighbors went away
They couldn't take my loneliness
I couldn't take their phoniness
My father had to go to work
I used to think he was a jerk
I didn't know his heart was broken
And not another word was spoken
He became a shadow of
The father I was dreaming of
I made a vow that I would never need
Another person ever
Turned my heart into a cage
A victim of a kind of rage
I gotta give it up
[repeat twice]
[chorus]
Find someone that I can care for
Find someone that I can care for
I've got to give it up
[repeat five times]
I've got to let it go
I've got to give it up
Oh mother, oh father
I've got to give it up
I gotta give it up
[repeat six times]

Madonna Mother And Father Comments
This Song is SO relatable. 😭
I gotta give it up.. love this
This is just terrible
Are you crazy?
Mark Star no.
@YeahOkayCertainly i beg to differ
Very good song and production. I love the synths and drumcomputer.
ONE OF HER BEST SONGS
The album in whole not my favorite. But this song in particular is one of her best. It's personal to her, and I can relate to it. It's a masterpiece.
One if my fav albums
I love the way she sings it with a little girl's point of view, and at the end her voice changes into Macy Gray!:) Love this song. Should have been a single with Nobody Knows Me.
I think it was someone from Billboard that said that this album is not as bad as people say it is, and I think that is very accurate.
I'm in tears
Uma verdadeira LENDA!
beauty and the twine and the dancing is cool and the clips stingy bitch
J’adore 🤤❤️😍

i really loved the ending
when madonna wasn't afraid to make music that she wanted to make.
SHE'S RIGHT, IT'S SAD BUT THE BEST WAY TO FORGET THE PAST IS FINDING SOMEONE NEW. FRIEND OR LOVER.
Amazing album !! Amazing song ..deep and strong ..tears in the dance...so emotionnal
😢 So sad.
fucking heavy masterpiece
MARAVILLOSA Y GENIAL MADONNA LA REINA DE LAS PISTAS DE BAILE . UN CORDIAL SALUDO .
Greetings from honduras Madonna i love you.
It is the best song wow
I am Lebanese and I love this song very very much it is very nice
Eu amo esse album!!!
a bit weird not madonnas style
The time I had a mother really was nice.
Lorsque l'on écoute vraiment les paroles, et que l'on en cerne pleinement leur sens, on mesure à quel point l'absence d'une mère peut détruire un être humain.
🖤👑🖤
american life. ray of light.like a prayer . erotica. for me 4 best cd of her
Interesting lyrics. Great music.
ouh if u see kkk dental it is the best dental out there
dont go to instrumental it ruins the whiole song
r mother is a skank
r calling me a terrorirst over a boy
I prefer the acoustic version.
Yes I now love this album...it's amazing how you just grow up a little and have life knock on your ass and realize fate is not always kind and you hear something like this from your past and pow it has whole different meaning thank you Madonna!!!!!
Amazing!!
One of her best albums
Love when Madonna does rap: Get Up (1981), Vogue (1990), Mother and Father, American Life (2003)
Gina Sousa Branco and Illuminati and Veni Vidi Vici!
So true Reuben Walton
I love this album ❤️
omg Ariana copy this
INTO YOU :D
Çağrı where? Prove it.
Madonna is the best and I think this song is absolutely brilllant one he best she ever sung.
great madonna...
i just want find somebodye to looooooove.
I love this song
I fucking love this album, all songs are great 💖!!!
Sofia Akemi you re so right, one of her best
me recuerda a kylie cantando... XD <3
I guess she can thank the Belle Stars with "Sign of time" for stealing their melody.
Atlas Manuel Gaisne lmao, get ya hearing checked
My favorite song from the album!
The Re-Inventation Tour rendition was so amazing
El primer cd de Madonna que escuche en mi vida y desde ahi, no pare de escucharla...perfecto en todo sentido!!
The producer, Mirwais (forgive my misspell) and her introverted version of bombast made the album brilliant. subliminal. IMO the Re-invention live performance of Nobody knows me was seminal... won't let a stranger give me a social disease.... words to live by x
+R UK What a great phrase: introverted version of bombast. I, too, think American Life is a masterpiece and deeply moving. She's never been 'just a pop star" and that, I guess, is why she has enjoyed such longevity. I believe her Tears of a Clown free concert in Melbourne featured quite a few tracks from this underrated and misunderstood album.
R UK ώ6
I always loved this juxtaposition of a funny melody with heartfelt lyrics. Only Madonna could be so creative. Love this song.
It sounds like "FEVER" of kylie minogue !!
American life album 🏃🙌🙌🙌💃🙏🙋🙆🙆🙆🙆💃🏃🚶🏃🚶🏃🙇👍👍
otra masterpiece
l love you for ever
I never really likes this album when I was younger but now that I'm older i realize that American Life is Art!
Roy Blowers yes, it is. Emotional Art
Roy Blowers totally agree. Now that I am over 30 I understand.
Me too.
I made a vow that I would never need
Another person ever
Turned my heart into a cage
A victim of a kind of rage
Breaks my heart every time
This is some awful-sounding shit made by a computer.
@adrshepard1 awful sounding? sorry, but you must be deaf.
THIS ALBUM is not Madonna's best BUT still, it is good and probably her most UNDER-RATED.....'like' if you agree !
I miss the days when she put out soundtrack songs between albums eras. I"ll Remember, Beautiful Stranger, Who's That Girl...Nowdays that space is empty.
It’s her most underrated with the GP, but among her fans it’s the most overrated imo...it’s good and has an amazing message but some parts of the album don’t do the job well. (This is the best song on the album and one of her best songs ever tho)
1. Ray of God
2. Confessions
3. Prayer
4. Madonna
5. Erotica
6. Music
7. Madame X
8. True Blue
9. Rebel Heart
10. Hard Candy
11. MDNA (her most underrated)
12. American Life
13. Floptime Stories
14. Virgin (outdated af)
My favorite Madonna song 🎶
Her live version.. Slowed down is amazing and heartfelt❤️
@Madonna Dalida Stefani Rebel Heart is a mess with all due respect
"My mother died when i was 5 and all i did was sit and cry. I cried and cried and cried till the neighbours went away" 😭
7 PEOPLE DON´T KNOW WHAT IT´S A MOTHER AND A FATHER....
She sound like Britney spears at the end gosh i love it !
One of my favorite Madonna songs <3
0:45 to 0:54 is my favorite part
The song reflects her emotional pain...On that note, I still pray to Jesus Christ...God's Love is what's kept me sane and pain free.
Sylvia Rondon god bless you
God doesn't exist
Es una cancion con un toque similar a Burning up ,de Kylie Minogue, (escuchenla tambien, muy buena ) pero esta cancion de Madonna esta increible, reventaron mis oidos de su toque dark electronico, y que nos cuenta el ella su dificil vida en su niñez, y aun asi triunfó
I got to give it up ♪♫
great song about her mother <3 <3
sounds like daft punk and Madonna
i'm trying hard to dry my tears....
ok the best song in the world and in the universe right"
celle ci est belle aussi mais au re invention tour c'était tout simplement génial!!!
c est la version live la plus belle!!!!
tks u love u big love 4 you
I Love this Song !!!
