chorus:
You taught me right from wrong
Love doesn't depend on the amount of money
You always gave me everything I need in life
I wish you could be proud of me
You taught me right from wrong
You always gave me a lot from little *
You always gave me everything I need in life
I wish you could be proud…
You provided a safe home
I learned to ride a bike with your help
Even though I drove to the bushes
well, I got medicine for my injuries
Even though gratitude took a while
and I fought against your rules
I didn't have to wait because of a pub
I didn't take the role of a barbarian
chorus
Don't learn the role of a bully
Don't accept the role of the one bullied
I remembered the manners of a parent
What eyes saw, hands did
Actions confirm the words
Whe you saw a familiar face from a distance
I always saw you wave
I never heard you bad-mouthing anyone
behind one's back
chorus
Yeah, you taught me to be optimistic
You're not pessimistic
You say thing's will work out
And it's repeated in me **
And others have to be taken into account too
You're a single mother, you have two jobs
I'm your listener,
you listen to me
Yes, mom, this is dedicated to you
I would be heartless if I were ungrateful
You taught me right from wrong
Love doesn't depend on the amount of money
You always gave me everything I need in life
I wish you could be proud of me
x2
Proud of me… x3
I wish you could be proud of me
Proud of me… x3
