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 life for her kids

Ooh
She would cry while we would sleep
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
And she would never find another
But we always had each other
There's no one tougher than a single mother

Oh
Yeah

A single mother working twice as hard
Just to give her kids a better life, she took so many jobs
Work a 9-to-5 then 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
Struggling inside but never showed it to her kids
Well

Ooh (I know)
She would cry while we would sleep
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)
And she would never find another
But we always had each other
There's no one tougher than a single mother

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
She would cry while we would sleep
Ooh (yeah-yeah)
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)
And she would never find another (find another)
But we always had each other
There's no one tougher than a single mother

To all the single mothers out there
Being a single parent is really hard, but you can do this
So get up every day
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
Haha, I miss you, too, honey
Good night
Good night
