I know you don't like me
|
Don't like the things I do
|
The saddest part just might be
|
That I don't like you too
|
You think you know my story
|
Well maybe you did for a little while
|
I guess that's the way it goes sometimes
|
Between a mother and a child
|
|
All my life you've reminded me
|
How you struggled nine long months
|
Your achin' back and your swollen feet
|
How you almost lost me once
|
You say you gave up everything
|
All the dreams you had
|
Told us kids we're the only reason
|
You stayed there with our dad
|
|
And you want me to cry for you
|
You want me to feel the way you do
|
I'm sorry your life let you down
|
But the fault it is not mine
|
It's not supposed to be like this
|
Between a mother and a child
|
|
You want me to just agree
|
With everything you say
|
Call my dad the bad guy
|
Make him pay and pay and pay
|
It's really not my business
|
It never was or will ever be
|
But I know nobody's perfect
|
And that's counting you and me
|
Yeah that's counting you and me
|
|
I don't remember all that happened
|
Mama I was just a kid
|
But if it really was all that bad
|
Why do you wish I did?
|
|
You want me to cry for you
|
I'll never feel the way you do
|
I'm sorry your life let you down
|
But the fault it is not mine
|
It's not supposed to be this way
|
Between a mother and a child
|
Oh a mother and a child
|
You're my mother and I'm your child
|
