Lyrics:
I know you don't like meDon't like the things I doThe saddest part just might beThat I don't like you tooYou think you know my storyWell maybe you did for a little whileI guess that's the way it sometimes goesBetween a mother and a childAll my life you've reminded meHow you struggled nine long monthsYour achin' back and your swollen feetHow you almost lost me onceYou say you gave up everythingAll the dreams you hadTold us kids we're the only reasonYou stayed there with our dadCHORUS:And you want me to cry for youYou want me to feel the way you doI'm sorry your life let you downBut the fault it is not mineIt's not supposed to be like thisBetween a mother and a childYou want me to just agreeWith everything you sayCall my dad the bad guyMake him pay and pay and payIt's really not my businessIt never was or will ever beBut I know nobody's perfectAnd that's counting you and meYeah that's counting you and meBRIDGE:I don't remember all that happenedMama I was just a kidBut if it really was all that badWhy do you wish I did?CHORUS:You want me to cry for youI'll never feel the way you doI'm sorry your life let you downBut the fault it was not mineIt's not supposed to be like thisBetween a mother and a childOh a mother and a childYou're my mother and I'm your child
