Mother

Oh I know my mom is getting older
Her knees are just too weak to hold her
And it's my job to take care of her

But the smoke is just too sweet to kick
Mom will understand I did my best
As I light up beside her bed

Every puff is laced with selfishness
Oh I could but I don't want to quit

I swear to God that I love my mother
I swear to God that I love my mother
Once she's gone I can't replace her
Yeah I promise you that I love my mother
Ooh ooh oooh oooh

I know she needs to get some air
So I take her to the ocean where
The oil stains can soak her hair

And as the cancer starts to spread
I put plastic down to line her bed
It's bad but who cares once she's dead

My convenience is priority
My excuses reign like a tyrant king

I swear to God that I love my mother
I swear to God that I love my mother
Once she's gone I can't replace her
Yeah I promise you that I love my mother
Ooh ooh oooh oooh

I know that time is running out
And my kids will suffer from my doubt
But I'm just way too comfortable to change

 I swear to God that I love my mother
I swear to God that I love my mother
Once she's gone I can't replace her
I promise I still love my mother
At least I think I love my mother
