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 mother
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
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 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 what I got to be
To make you a part of me
There`s no one else you`d ever need
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your mother
Mother, mother
Mother, mother
If I was your mother
Mother, mother
