oh mother

Singer:aguilera, christina

whoa

oh

yeah

she was so young with such innocent eyes

she always dreamt of a fairytale life

and all the things that your money can't buy

she thought that he was a wonderful guy

then suddenly

things seemed to change

it was the moment she took on his name

he took his anger out on her face

she kept all of her pain locked away

oh mother

we're stronger

from all of the tears you have shed

oh mother

don't look back

cause he'll never hurt us again

so mother

i thank you

for all that you've done and still do

you got me

i got you

together we always pull through

we always pull through

we always pull through

oh mother

oh mother

oh mother

it was the day that he turned on his kids

that she knew she just had to leave him

so many voices inside of her head

saying over and over and over

you deserve much more than this."
