Single Mothers

Hi, baby

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 heart for her kids

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
She would cry while we were sleep
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak

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

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 run away
She let her own dreams die just to see mine live
Strugglin' inside but never showed it to her kids, well

(Ooh, ooh-ooh) I know, yeah
She would cry while we were sleep
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak

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

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh
She would cry while we were sleep
(Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak

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)

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
