Deadbeat - For Mother Lyrics

Everything I know, I learned from you
All good deeds I've done are thanks to you
The person that I am started with you
And looking back, I guess I never really properly thanked you
And saying bye to dad was never all that tough
Oh tell me, why is that
Maybe you were enough
And hearing about these mothers who didn't care
Didn't make sense to me cause you were always there
And I never stopped to think how hard that must have been
To watch him drive away from this mess he left you in
I've never met another who works so hard
An honest working mother, pure good in the heart
Living proof that good people aren't quite so far
If only everybody were like you
If only everybody were like you
So merry Christmas, sorry I didn't get something nice for you
I thought that this might do
I must confess I get a little scared of disappointing you
And my father too
Everything I am or have is one thing that I owe you
And this is the best way that I know how to show you
Everything I am or have is one thing that I owe you
And this is my best way of knowing how to show you
I've never met another who works so hard
An honest working mother, pure good in the heart
Living proof that good people aren't quite so far
If only everybody were like you
If only everybody were like you
