Mother

Come do 24 hours in my shoes
Yeah, just 24 hours and see
How it feels to be totally selfless
Say goodbye to your moment to breathe

If you felt half this weight
Maybe you could relate to the brand-new mother in me

It takes 24 hours to get it
It takes 24 hours indeed
And you'll swim in these pools of resentment
You'll first hear why I've been so damn mean

If you had no escape
Maybe you could relate to the brand-new mother in me

Oh, one-hour, two-hour, three-hour, four
Ain't enough to know?
Think you need some more
Oh, just a few hours to swallow you whole
Think it'll change your mind
How about a lifetime?

'Cause it's 24-7 commitment
It don't matter what you're dealing with
Like a train that speeds right through the station
Takes all of you to keep up with it

If you think you might break
Then you could relate to the brand-new mother in me

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
