Cindy Morgan - Mother lyrics

rate me

For nine months you carried me softly inside you And harbored me there safe and warm And picked out my names and bought new picture frames And I'm sure only God loved me more. Kicking and screaming I came to life dreaming And loving the sounds of your words. But pretty soon I had a mind of my own And a voice speaking out to be heard. Oh, Mother, mother, we started out with a bang Oh, Mother, mother, its funny how quickly things changed You feel you gave up too much to be with me And you never had enough help Your middle ages and your mid-life rages Do you feel that you've lost yourself? And you try to control me and manipulate me But love is a much stronger tool So speak to me kindly and show some respect And I promise I'll show some to you... Oh, Mother, mother, your picture's up there on the wall. Oh, Mother, mother, but its like I don't know you at all. For whatever reason mother & daughter Live on a double-edged sword. One day I love you, the next day I hate you Until we don't talk anymore As my daughter's blue eyes and They stare back up at me. And I love them more than my own breath. Times gonna tell if I have listened well If I've learned anything from all this Oh, Mother, mother, I know there's more to you than this Oh, Mother, oh, mother, do you think that we could be friends Oh, Mother, mother, I think that we could be friends
