If I Was Your Mother

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 'Cause I'd wake up in the middle Of the night Just to see if you need me Tell me there's no mother To who you're telling your secrets And would you tell me 'Bout all the boys you been Bringing home to meet me 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 yours 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 & child Oh baby, I got to get that Close to you 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 yours Tell me what 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, mother Mother, mother If I was your mother Mother, mother -
