Lyrics
Perfect Mother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
she's gonna be a perfect mother,
perfect mother
in her mind there's no doubt
though no one could show her how to be
a perfect mother, perfect mother
people say--she's too young
should a child have a child?
hers is gonna be a perfect baby
raised according to the old prescription:
cuddle it daily and smother with kisses
'cause there's nothing more important
just make sure that she never misses
a perfect mother, perfect mother
people say--she's too young
no one could ever show her how
babies grow, then they tend to leave us
that's how it's always been and always will be
deep down inside you never stop wishing
for the hope to be certain that your
boy or girl
will be forever needing you
hers is gonna be a perfect baby
raised according to the old prescription:
cuddle it daily and smother with kisses
'cause there's nothing more important...
who knows better--
all her life she missed her
