Question
I can not find out who sings this song or even the title of it.  I believe it may be "Everything's Fine".  It goes something like this, "I miss you, I love you, I'm bleeding to death Everything's Fine!!"  It's sung by a female and the song starts out with the words, "Mother, mother.  Are you listening?  I'm just calling to say hello.  How's the weather?  How's my father?  Am I (?) ?  Heaven's no."  Please help if you can!!

Answer
The song is called 'Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham
The full lyrics are:
Mother, mother, How's the family? I'm just calling to say hello  
How's the weather? How's my father? Am I lonely? Heavens no  
Mother, mother, Are you listening? Just a phone call to ease your mind  
Life is perfect never better Distance making the heart go blind

When you sent me off to see the world
Were you scared that I might get hurt
Would I try a little tobacco
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt

I'm hungry, I'm dirty
I'm loosing my mind, Everything's fine
I'm freezing, I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death, Everything's fine

Yeah I'm working making money, I'm just starting to build a name  
I can feel it round the corner, I could make it any day  
Mother, mother, can you hear me? Sure I'm sober sure I'm sane  
Life is perfect never better, Still your daughter still the same

If I tell you what you want to hear
Will it help you to sleep well at night
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight

I'm hungry, I'm dirty
I'm loosing my mind, Everything's fine
I'm freezing, I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death, Everything's fine
I miss you, I love you
