Verse

Mother mother how's the family?
I'm just calling to say hello
How's the weather? How's my father?
Am I lonely? Heavens no

Verse

Mother mother are ya listening?
Just a phone call to ease your mind
Life is perfect never better
Distance making the heart grow fond

Chorus

When you sent me off to see the world
Were you scared that I might get hurt? 
Would I try a little tobacco
D E D C D*
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?
A N.C.
I'm hungry
A N.C.
I'm dirty
A N.C. A
I'm losing my mind
Every- thing's fine!
A N.C.
I'm freezing
A N.C.
I'm starving
A N.C. A
I'm bleeding to death
Every- thing's fine!

Verse

Yeah, I'm working, making money
I'm just starting to build a name
I can feel it, around the corner
I could make it any day
Mother, mother, can you hear me?
Sure I'm sober, sure I'm sane
Life is perfect, never better
Still your daughter, still the same

Chorus

If I tell you what you want to hear
Will it help you to sleep well at night?
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear?
D E D C D*
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight
A N.C. A N.C.
I'm hungry, I'm dirty
A N.C. A A G# G F#
I'm losing my mind, every-thing's fine
A N.C. A N.C.
I'm freezing, I'm starving
A N.C. A A G# G F#
I'm bleeding to death, every-thing's fine
A N.C.
I miss you
A N.C. A
I love you
