lyrics

Mama said don't worry, you'll understand it someday
People are just human, say things they don't mean to say
But mama, I'm different. I think that I love ladies
and I don't think it's recent - been true since you made me.

Is that why they tease me? Think they know how to read me
but I'm more than just the things I love, yeah
Is that why they hate me? Think it's the way you raised me
but I'm glad to be the kind of me I am today

Mama, I'm open, but the family is quiet
Am I a ghost in the lives of the silent?
Well mama, I found her, I think we're getting married
and it's gonna get louder, but I won't let them break me.

Is that why they tease me? Think they know how to read me
but I'm more than just the things I love, yeah
Is that why they hate me? Think it's the way you raised me
but I'm glad to be the kind of me I am today

Cause I was just a black sheep, hiding in the herd
Deep within my own apologies
And they were shouting at me, size me up naively
Give birth to my insecurities
It's not as if it's a choice
but I found my voice

Is that why they tease me? Think they know how to read me
but I'm more than just the things I love, yeah
Is that why they hate me? Think it's the way you raised me
but I'm glad to be the kind of me I am today

Mama, I'm open, I've always been your baby
Of course I have flaws, but I've been good since you made me.
