Mommy Why
Why doesn’t anyone like me?
Here I come full circle,
Twenty-eight years of loneliness.
 
Mommy Why,
Why doesn’t anyone like me?
Don’t they see the pretty,
          young girl so pure and sweet?
If they treated me well for
          one minute of the day,
I’d be so loyal, so willing to stay.
 
Mommy Why,
Why doesn’t anyone like me?
What have you and daddy done to me,
          that people will stray?
 
Mommy Why,
Why doesn’t anyone like me?
Do I not have anything good to share?
Or is it just my face, body and hair?
 
Mommy Why,
Why doesn’t anyone like me?
I have been asking you
          since 7 or 8
Will you ever teach me what
          I need to know?
 
Why doesn’t anyone like me?
