But you only get one mother


When I needed you the most you weren't there 

Always saying call me when you need my help 

But when I call you barely even care 

 

But you only get one mother 

 

When Im down I expect you to lift me up 

But you just make everthing worse 

I have so much stuff built up in me 

That makes me want to just curse 

 

But of course you only get one mother

 

When you say I suck at doing what i love the most 

Makes me wanna drop everything and give up 

you're like a drug nobody should overdose 

So whatever I got going on you would be the last to know 

 

But you only get one mother 

 

You'll be missing every mile stone in my life 

When I walk down the aisle 

Becoming somebody's wife 

Missing my child's first smile 

 

But you only get one mother

 

Will I regret it 

i don't know 

maybe so 

But im going to

find out and see 

 

Because I'm gonna be somebodys Mother
