John Lennon: Mother Meaning

Song Released: 1970

Mother Lyrics

Mother, you had me, but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me, but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye,...

Lenon's parents abandoned him, and most children who are abandoned by their parents. For shitty reasons. Should of had LD.50 on stand by. Poor guy :(
