If I Was Your Mother - Album Version

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

Oh 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

Cause 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 about all the boys

You been bringing home to meet me

Oh 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

When love is blood

You're never on trial

Love don't get deeper

Than a mother and 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

There's no one else you'd ever need

If I was your mother mother

If I was your mother mother

Yeah mother mother

If I was your mother mother

If I was your mother mother

If I was your mother

If I was your mother mother

If I was your mother

If I was your mother mother
