Madonna — Mother and Father Live 2004

[Intro] Are you having a good time? Me too [Verse 1] There was a time I was happy in my life There was a time I believed I'd live forever There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ There was a time I had a mother, it was nice [Pre-Chorus] 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 Yes father, you know I'm not so free [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 Yes father, you know I'm not so free [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 [Verse 3] 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 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 [Interlude] I got to save my baby Because he makes me cry I got to make him happy I got to teach him how to fly I got to take him higher Way up like a bird in the sky I got to calm him down now I got to save his life [Chorus] I've got to give it up I've got to give it up I've got to give it up Find somebody 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 somebody to love me Find someone that I can care for [Outro] I've got to give it up I've got to give it up I've got to give it up I've got to give it up I've got to let it go I've got to give it up I've got to let it go Oh mother, oh father I've got to give it up Oh mother, oh father I've got to give it up
