John Lennon的《Mother》的歌詞如下：
You're going up, mother,
You're on your way,
I'm standing here,
Watching you grow taller
And you're so beautiful
But you're so cruel
Chorus:
And I don't want to go to school today
I don't want to play
I don't want to be a part of this world today
'Cause you're always on my back
You're always on my nerves
You make me feel so small
And I don't want to be a part of this world anymore
You're always on my mind
When I'm with my friends
You make me feel like I'm just a child again
And I don't want to be a part of this world anymore
Bridge:
So here I am, standing alone
Looking for a place to belong
And I don't know where to go
But I know I'll be alright without you
And I won't feel small anymore
So there's no more tears to cry
So why not say goodbye?
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Chorus:
I don't want to go to school today
I don't want to play
I don't want to be a part of this world anymore
No more pain, no more tears, no more pain
No more pain, no more tears, no more pain
No more pain, no more tears, no more pain anymore.
