The kitchen smells like orange peels
Her stomach turns like a spinning wheel
        G
Put the baby down in her little seat
           D
You should rest now momma, you should eat
Asus4
It ain?t right you been working all day
    G
And all us kids getting in your way
       D                                    A     Asus4
So she goes to bed as soon as the kitchen's clean
                                               D
That don?t mean a thing to you, but it does to me

D
Well I don?t know if this part is true
How memories lie, sometimes they do
          G
But I can see her in our living room
       D
With a smile on her face as she?s dancing to
Asus4                        G

She said her cousin had a balcony seat
                                               D
That don?t mean a thing to you, but it does to me

Oh Lord, am I good enough

When this world spins as hard as it does
       G                                   D  Asus4
And we both know how it shakes some people up
           G                             D
So how did you decide to give me so much love

D
Well she never said a word to me
About dying, about how she?d leave
   G
In all her pain she would never cry
          D
Me and my best friend Tina would ride our bikes

We took a paper route one summer time
       D                               A  Asus4
Tina?s mom said I was part of the fami ly
                                              D
That don?t mean a thing to you but it does to me

And we both know how it shakes some people up
           G                             D     Asus4
So how did you decide to give me so much love, love
        G             D    Asus4
So much love, so much love
D     Asus4                     G
Love, love, you give me so much love
        D
So much love

D
No one?s had a bigger say
In who I am today
      G
And I swear I?ve tried to be worthy of
    D
The name they gave me when I was young
      Asus4
But I ain?t that pretty, I ain?t that brave
   G
My kids have seen me cry
                 D                              A   Asus4
They should have given her name to my sister Ma rie
That don?t mean a thing to you
                           G
That don't mean a thing to you
               D
But it does to me
