Care for Your Mother
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Oh son
You have to start somewhere
But don't run
Or you won't get there
Just tie your shoes and tend to the trees
Just be the man that I couldn't be
Just be the man I couldn't be
Ooh (Mmm)
Ooh (Mmm)
My son
See I wasn't there when you were born
But I felt a love for you like never before
Whilst I'm away just pick up the leaves
And be the man I couldn't be
Just be the man I couldn't be
Sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Cause sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Ooh
Cause it wasn't my choice
Ooh
When I had to leave (Ooh)
But if I had been stronger then I would have stayed
Sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Cause sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Oh son
Stay out of trouble
Be kind and always be humble
Make her proud by not being me
Just be the man that I could not be
Just be the man that I could not be
Ooh
Ooh
Just be the man that I couldn't be (Ooh)
Ooh
Just be the man, be the man
And care for your mother
Care for your mother
And care for your mother
Care for her
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Oh son
You have to start somewhere
But don't run
Or you won't get there
Just tie your shoes and tend to the trees
Just be the man that I couldn't be
Just be the man I couldn't be
Ooh (Mmm)
Ooh (Mmm)
My son
See I wasn't there when you were born
But I felt a love for you like never before
Whilst I'm away just pick up the leaves
And be the man I couldn't be
Just be the man I couldn't be
Sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Cause sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Ooh
Cause it wasn't my choice
Ooh
When I had to leave (Ooh)
But if I had been stronger then I would have stayed
Sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Cause sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
Oh son
Stay out of trouble
Be kind and always be humble
Make her proud by not being me
Just be the man that I could not be
Just be the man that I could not be
Ooh
Ooh
Just be the man that I couldn't be (Ooh)
Ooh
Just be the man, be the man
And care for your mother
Care for your mother
And care for your mother
Care for her
