If I was your mother, mother
I could get so close it's true
You're never on trial
With whom you're sharing your secrets
Than a mother and child
If I was your mother
Oh baby, I got to get that close to you
Just to see if you need me
Of the night
No one else you'd ever need
Tell me what I've got to do?
If I was your mother, mother
If I was your mother
Tell me who I got to be?
When love is blood
To make my life mean more to you
Love don't get deeper
You been bringing home to meet me
And would you tell me 'bout all the boys
There's no one else you'd ever need
Oh, tell me what I got to do?
To make you a part of me
Would you always be my friend?
And kiss you sweet goodnight
If I was your mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
I could get so close it's true
Oh, tell me what I've got to do?
Maybe tuck you in
I could get so close it's true
Yeah, mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
If I was yours
Tell me there's no other
Tell me who I got to be?
To make you a part of me
Could I tell you stories?
If I was yours
If I was your mother, mother
To make my life mean more to you
Could I teach you what's right?
Would you always believe me?
Would you say you were my baby?
To make my life mean more to you
Because I'd wake up in the middle
