Mom was cooking bread
She wore a dirty raggety scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low, rolled to her feet
She just didnt know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh, no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork or a dinner plate
I was always so afraid for my uptown friends to see her
Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her
Ah, in a college town
Away from home a new identity I found
Said I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said momma died on a weekend trip to spain
She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train
Married a guy, was living high
I didnt want him to know her
She a grandson, two years old
That I never even showed her
Im living in shame
Momma I miss you
I know youre not to blame
Momma I miss you
Came a telegram
Momma passed away while making homemade jam
Before she died, she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Ah, cooking, cleaning, always in the same old dress
Working hard down on her knees
Always trying to please
Momma, momma, momma can you hear me?
Momma, momma, momma can you hear me?
Im living in shame, momma I miss you
I know youve done youre best
Momma I miss you
Wont you forgive me mom?
For all the wrong Ive done
I know youve done your best
Oh, I know youve done your very best you could
But Im never understood
Working hard down on her knees...

Perhaps the most famous female trio from Motown, they sold over 100 million records worldwide. The Supremes, composed of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard (later replaced by Cindy Birdsong), dominated the charts with hits like "Baby Love", "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "You Can't Hurry Love". Their impeccable vocal style, bold costumes, and magnetic stage presence made them icons of pop music.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
