If I was your mother
Would you let me hold your hand
Would you say you were my baby
Would you always be my friend
If I was your mother
Could I teach you what's right
Could I tell you stories
Maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight
Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was your mother
Would you always believe me
'Cause I'd wake up in the middle
Of the night
Just to see if you need me
Tell me there's no other
To who you're telling your secrets
And would you tell me
'Bout all the boys you been
Bringing home to meet me
Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours
Tell me who I got to be
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd never need
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
When love is blood
You're never on trial
Love don't get deeper
Than a mother and child
Oh baby, I got to get that close to you
Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours
Tell me who I got to be
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd never need
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
