If I Was Your Mother

Am

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

Am

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've gotta 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

Am

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've gotta 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've gotta be to make you a part of me

No one else you ever 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 & child

Oh baby, I got to get that close to you

Tell me what I've gotta 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've gotta be to make you a part of me

No one else you ever need

If I was your

Mother mother if I was your mother, mother

Mother mother if I was your mother, mother

Mother mother if I was your mother, mother
