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  
Mother, mother, Are you listening? Just a phone call to ease your mind  
Life is perfect never better Distance making the heart go blind 

When you sent me off to see the world
Were you scared that I might get hurt
Would I try a little tobacco
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt 

I'm hungry, I'm dirty
I'm loosing my mind, Everything's fine
I'm freezing, I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death, Everything's fine 

Yeah I'm working making money, I'm just starting to build a name  
I can feel it round 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 

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
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight 

I'm hungry, I'm dirty
I'm loosing my mind, Everything's fine
I'm freezing, I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death, Everything's fine
I miss you, I love you
