DON’T BELIEVE HIM

Momma I just came in from that world 
Which you had claimed so cold 
I was introduced to some very nice people 
And welcomed into their home 
Can you believe it? 
I was welcomed with open arms 
Can you believe it?

Never ever ever had I come to think 
That there are people out there like this 
They're so very kind 
I find it hard to believe 
The mother even gave me a kiss 
Can you believe it?

No, no, no, no don't believe it 
Hear what I say 
When I talk to you 
It seems you've forgotten what is true 
There's nothing out there 
But spite and hate 
With intentions to manipulate 
No one is kind 
If there's no gain 
They only give 
To get again 
If you don't believe 
Just look at me
A sacrifice of society

But momma there was a man 
A doctor 
Who said I was his son 
He told me about all those 
Years ago 
And what you and he had done 
And I believe him 
Every word he says 
Yes, I believe him
 
He said that you were grieving
Over the loss of my Grandpa 
That he was there to comfort you 
And you two fell in love 
And I believe him 
Momma, is that so very wrong?

No, no, no, no don't believe him
He used me in my weakened state 
With each caress 
He'd stimulate 
I was so young 
And so alone 
He had me 
While his wife was at home 
How can you love and rape someone? 
He raped me! 
Sweet Lord, he raped me!

Momma –
