Say, hello, you ready?
00:03
Hello, nice to meet you
00:06
This a microphone, it tells a voice
00:08
What does mommy use the microphone for?
00:10
It's for, for mommy sing
00:13
Yeah, for mommy's singing
00:16
Who's your favorite singer?
00:19
Mommy
00:24
Please, God, or whoever you are
00:24
Please, God, or whoever you are
00:30
Please, God, or whoever you are
00:35
Please, God, or whoever you are
00:41
These days I get less calls 'cause no one wants to hear my voice
00:44
I miss the days when I was gettin' texts that I could just avoid
00:49
And I've been tryin' to be calm and not pre-emptively destroy
00:55
I wonder who here really loves me, or who wants to be employed
01:00
Every time I'm in the real world, I just end up paranoid
01:06
And stay at home all by my lonesome with my little baby boy
01:12
And I watch him on the kitchen floor, he's playin' with his toys
01:17
And I don't ever wanna leave him, but I don't think it's my choice
01:22
So I'm basking in these moments where I feel a shred of joy
01:27
But I don't think my pleads are heard because I'm screaming in the void
01:33
I'm screaming
01:38
Please, God, oh, you've gotta be sick
01:39
Why do you make it hurt, and why's it over so quick?
01:44
Please, God, I'm finally loved
01:50
I've finally found somebody I don't wanna get rid of
01:56
Please, God, is it busy up there?
02:01
You took a little while to respond to my prayer
02:06
Please, God, no, this doesn't seem fair
02:12
I'm tryin' not to show it, but I'm terribly scared
02:17
Please, God, or whoever you are
02:23
Please, God, or whoever you are
02:28
Please, God, or whoever you are
02:34
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, mm
