If i was your mother

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'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

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've gotta 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'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 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
