Single Mothers

歌詞

Hi, baby Yes, I had a dad, but a woman taught me how to be a man At the age of 6 my parents split, I was left there fatherless Mom's heart would never heal from it She traded her life for her kids Oh She would cry while we would sleep Oh And never showed us she was weak A broken home's like broken bones It's never whole when left alone But she was there to gather all the pieces And she would never find another But we always had each other There's no one tougher than a single mother Oh, yeah A single mother working twice as hard Just to give her kids a better life she took so many jobs Work a 9-to-5 then 5-to-9 never took a day off Never had no help but there ain't shit that she afraid of Yeah she had a hole in her heart but kept a smile on her face Pulled me close every time I tried to just run away She let her own dreams die just to see mine live Struggling inside but never showed it to her kids ...well, I know Oh She would cry while we would sleep Oh And never showed us she was weak A broken home's like broken bones It's never whole when left alone But she was there to gather all the pieces And she would never find another But we always had each other There's no one tougher than a single mother She would cry while we would sleep Oh And never showed us she was weak A broken home's like broken bones It's never whole when left alone But she was there to gather all the pieces And she would never find another But we always had each other There's no one tougher than a single mother To all the single mothers out there Being a single parent is really hard, but you can do this So get up every day Every day is a new day, and they need you, and you need them And give everything you can to them 'cause they're so worth it I love you, mom I love you, too I miss you Ha-ha, I miss you, too, honey Good night Good night
