like my mother does

people always say

i have a laugh

like my mother does

guess that makes sense

she taught me how to smile

when things get rough

i've got her spirit

she's always got my back

when i look at her

i think

i want to be just like that

when i love i give it all i've got

like my mother does

when i'm scared

i bow my head and pray

like my mother does

when i feel weak and unpretty

i know i'm beautiful and strong

because i see myself like my mother does

i never met a stranger

i can talk to anyone

like my mother does

i let my temper fly

and she can walk away

when she's had enough

she sees everybody

for who they really are

i'm so thankful for her guidance

she helped me get this far

when i love i give it all i've got

like my mother does

when i'm scared

i bow my head and pray

like my mother does

when i feel weak and unpretty

i know i'm beautiful and strong

because

i see myself like my mother does

she's a rock

she is grace

she's an angel

she's my heart and soul

she does it all

when i love i give it all i've got

like my mother does

when i'm scared

i bow my head and pray

like my mother does

when i'm weak and unpretty

i know i'm beautiful and strong

because

i see myself like my mother does

like my mother does

i hear people saying

i'm starting to look like my mother does
