A song by Natalie called "Goin' Crazy" of which this is a parody addressing my tumultuous relationship with my mother.
Original Song Lyrics:
Ever since the day you went away and left me lonely and cold My life just hasn't been the same oh baby, no When I looked into your eyes the moment that I let you go I just broke down
Baby if I ever get the chance to be with you again I would sacrifice Cuz the feeling that I feel within No other man would ever make me feel so right It's nice to smile when I get your phone call at night But I'd rather have you here with me, right next to me I miss the way you hold me tight
[Bridge] I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch I never thought that I could ever love a man so much I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny For you I'd cross the world, for you I'd do anything
[Chorus 2x] That's right baby. I'm going crazy
Gotta be your lady I've been thinking lately That you and me, yes we can make it Just ride with me, roll with me, I'm in love with you baby
Break it down now, I'll tell you what I feel From the moment that I met you, its been so damn real My heart seems to skip another beat Every time we speak, I can't believe I feel so weak Tell me that you really need me and you want me and you miss me And you love me I'm your lady I'll be around waiting for you. I'll put it down, be the woman for you
I'm falling so deep for you, crazy over for you I'm calling, calling out to you, what am I going to do? It's true, no fronting It's you and no other, I can no longer go on without you I'll just break down
[Bridge]
[Chorus 2x]
Parody Song Lyrics:
Ever since the day you went away, I haven't been lonely or cold My life just hasn't been the same, oh Mama, no When I looked into your eyes the moment that I let you go I just felt free
Mama if I ever get the chance to be with you again I would laugh like twice Cuz the feeling that I feel within Is that another Mama has made me feel so right It's twice as nice when I don't get your phone call at night Cuz I don't want you here with me or next to me You never once held me tight
[Bridge] I gotta let you know I feel so free without your touch I never thought that I could ever hate my mom so much I gotta let you know I think that it's our destiny For us to part, for us to break, I'm so sorry
[Chorus 2x] That's right Mommy, not going crazy Don't wanna be your lady I've been thinking lately That you and me, no we can't make it Don't ride with me, or roll with me, I'm okay without you, Mommy.
Break it down now, I'll tell you what I feel From the time I was a kid, you ain't never once been real My heart seems to sink right to my feet Every time we speak, cuz I can't believe you're so damn weak You don't me tell me that you really need me or want me or miss me But you claim you love me, I'm your lady I won't be around waiting around for you. I'll lay it down, I'm not the daughter for you
I'm bawlin, livin life without you, not crazy over you I was calling, calling out to you, what am I gonna do?
But you kept fronting
It's me on my own now, I can no longer go on beside you And I won't break down
[Bridge] I gotta let you know I feel so free without your touch I never thought that I could ever hate my mom so much I gotta let you know I think that it's our destiny For us to part, for us to break, I'm so sorry
[Chorus 2x] That's right Mommy, not going crazy Don't wanna be your lady I've been thinking lately That you and me, no we can't make it Don't ride with me, or roll with me, I'm okay without you, Mommy.

You did well for this I know this song,
and I like your flow, the emotion. Is good.
this is a great attempt, even better write. Just uh don't use mommy, unless you wanted to make fun. I couldn't get that lol. I'd use something like ma or mama. On your verse I'd change lady to baby I just got it lol.

I have a horrible voice and I cannot sing to save my life, but I still tried. Maybe auto-tune or another female singer can help me out. Thanks for the review! Happy New Year!
I am new to this website so I have to figure my way around a bit, so please bare with me. A little about me... I have always considered myself better with the written word than the spoken word. I have.. more..
