Just a little baby girl, didn't ask to get born into this crazy world
Sometimes I get sad because I didn't even know who my daddy was
My mommy held me tight, rocked me side to side as she sang a lullaby
Then my mommy cried and my mommy said goodbye
She brought me into this life but I don't know why
Mommy didn't want me, mommy didn't want me
Just a little baby girl, didn't ask to get born into this crazy world
Sometimes I get sad because I didn't even know who my mommy was
Maybe I was born bad, maybe I need help
'Cause sometimes I get sad and I wanna kill myself
But when I sing my momma's lullaby, I don't wanna die but I don't know why, why
Mommy didn't want me
Toemaar, toemaar baba, moenie huil nie
Mamma moet nou weggaan, maar moenie worry nie
Al is jy arm, of al is jy ryk
Die here sal vir ewig en altyd na jou kyk
Just a little baby girl, didn't ask to get born into this crazy world
Sometimes I get sad because, I didn't know who my mommy or my daddy was
They told me my mommy held me tight, rocked me side to side as she sung a lullaby
Then my mommy cried and my mommy said goodbye
She brought me into this life but I don't know why
Mommy didn't want me
Toemaar, toemaar baba, moenie huil nie
Mamma moet nou weggaan, maar moenie worry nie
Al is jy arm, of al is jy ryk
Die here sal vir ewig en altyd na jou kyk
Mommy didn't want me, mommy didn't want me
