lyrics

I don’t have my mother’s eyes

70s girl
brown skin
curly hair

so cute, is she adopted
they would ask her

düdüdüdü
düdüdüdü

just like her mother
just like her father
none of that

I don’t have my mother’s eyes
I don’t have my mother’s eyes

teenage years
darker years
bald head years
but when it grows
can I touch your hair
they would ask me

düdüdüdü
düdüdüdü

just like her mother
just like her father
none of that

I don’t have my mother’s eyes
I don’t have my mother’s eyes

I always wanted her hair, her skin
less attention on the outer appearance
see what’s within

inside insight
my mother’s reticence
is palpable
never got to thank her
nor to blame her

what would I ask her?
what would I ask her?
what would I ask her?

düdüdüdü
düdüdüdü

I don’t have my mother’s eyes
I don’t have my mother’s eyes
I don’t have my mother’s eyes
