Mama loves a mask
And if she’d only ask
The questions right
She’d know
Mama loves a mask
A girl inside a flask
Smoldering sleepless nights
Throwing crosses out the window
He could never lie
No he could only make me true
But they won’t understand the colors
Inside the brilliant mind that I call you
So please lay low, just smile
Play the game for now, beguile
Duplicitous and all the while
She loves me so
Mama loves a fairytale
The girl who’d never sin
Taking sips of ginger ale
Instead of shots of gin
Mama loves a fairytale
And once I loved her too
I never knew that when I’d think
I’d lose my mind and start to sink
And as I learned I grew
Out of the mask you made for me
You’ll love me someday soon
