Lyric discussion by Bobathin 

Cover art for Mama I'm Strange lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

Love this song. It conveys the feeling of being out of place, being different from everyone else in a way that society dislikes, and how that affects your confidence. It's about feeling like you have no innocence because you enjoy something that others see as perverse and feeling sorry for yourself even though there's probably nothing wrong with it. And having to deal with your parents' judgment.
