If I Was Your Mother lyrics

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
