Mama Lyrics

I wouldn't take the various members explanations at 'Face Value' , pun intended. Inspiration may come from various sources all at the same time. This song may be inspired by a prostitute, or maybe God or maybe its a song about abortion. But I doubt the songwriters are going to say, "yeah, thats our secret". Probably a simple explanation like , yeah this is about a prostitute, makes it easier to talk to the media or whomever, but don't let that discourage your search for meaning in the art.

@sandman71 YES! Great minds think alike.

I think you and I are possibly a handful of altruistic followers of Song Meanings? I just realized all these nonsensical versions of song meanings are mocking the followers and the site itself. I love to decipher song meanings. Thee people are trolls. They make sarcastic, sardonic comments everywhere they go. These people must be the YahooAnswers castaways. It really is not funny to diminish someone else's oasis. I know I'm not wrong. I believe my senses.

I think they might be flushed out. I noticed the year of last post for many was 2005-2012.
