Blood and Skin

Mamma, oh mamma,

You told me blood is thicker than skin.

Mamma, oh mamma,

Why must it always be this way within?

Blood, blood, blood — thicker than skin,

Why, oh why, such a heavy thing?

Mamma, oh mamma.

But mamma, oh mamma,

Love is pulling me in.

Mamma, oh mamma,

It beats stronger than the rules we’re in.

You told me blood is thicker than skin,

But mamma, oh mamma,

Love is stronger than you think.
