Single Mothers

[Intro: Deb Smith]

Hi, baby

[Verse 1]

Yes, I had a dad

But a woman taught me how to be a man

At the age of six, my parents split

I was left there fatherless

Mom's heart would never heal from it

She traded her life for her kids

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)

She would cry while we would sleep

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And never showed us she was weak

[Chorus]

A broken home's like broken bones

It's never whole when left alone

But she was there to gather all the pieces

She would never find another

But we always had each other

There's no one tougher than a single mother, oh

[Verse 2]

Yeah, single mother workin' twice as hard

Just to give her kids a better life, she took so many jobs

Workin' 9 to 5 and 5 to 9, never took a day off

Never had no help but there ain't shit that she afraid of, yeah

She had a hole in her heart but kept a smile on her face

Pulled me close every time I tried to just run away

She let her own dreams die just to see mine live

Strugglin' inside but never showed it to her kids, well

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ooh, ooh-ooh) I know, yeah

She would cry while we would sleep

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And never showed us she was weak

[Chorus]

A broken home's like broken bones

It's never whole when left alone

But she was there to gather all the pieces (To gather all the pieces)

She would never find another

But we always had each other

There's no one tougher than a single mother

[Bridge]

Ooh, ooh-ooh

She would cry while we would sleep

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Yeah, yeah)

And never showed us she was weak

[Chorus]

A broken home's like broken bones (Broken bones)

It's never whole when left alone (Left alone)

But she was there to gather all the pieces (To gather all the pieces)

She would never find another (Find another)

But we always had each other

There's no one tougher than a single mother (Than a single mother)

[Outro: Deb Smith & MOD SUN]

To all the single mothers out there

Bein' a single parent is really hard

But you can do this

Get up every day and every day is a new day

And they need you, and you need them

And give everything you can to them

'Cause they're so worth it

I love you, Mom

I love you too

I miss you

Hahaha, I miss you too, honey

Good night

Good night
