BE MY MOM - words & music by Nate Butler
You were just a little girl that tall when you got your first baby doll
You snuggle up and whisper love you feel
And count the years 'til it can all be real
Well, come on, come on, come on; you can be my mom
You can't miss another mother's pride
Your lips tremble and your eyes get wide
That's a pride you would be feeling, too:
Someone to need you like you need them to
Well, come on, come on, come on; you can be my mom
Keep the cabinet full of wine
Make sure I'm to the gig on time
Recall the details when my brain is numb
Our friends think that you're under my thumb, but they're wrong
They're wrong, they're wrong
Since the first doll you've always wanted to be a mom
So be my mom; you've always wanted to be a mom
So be my mom; you've always wanted to be a mom
