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?
Because I'd wake up in the middle
Of the night
Just to see if you need me

Tell me there's no other
With whom you're sharing your secrets
And would you tell me
'Bout all the boys you been
Bringing home to meet me?

Tell me what I've 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 who 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

When love is blood
You're never on trial
It don't get deeper
Than a mother child
Oh baby, I got to get that
Close to you

Tell me what I've 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 who I got to be
To make you a part of me
No one else you'd ever need
If I was your

Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother

Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
