Just Like You, Mum

Sorry for the times I made you feel unwanted
Things I might’ve said, trying to cut you out
Now I realize all I put you through
And I’m sorry, I know it’s overdue

You are the reason I am here today
And though my words won’t ever quite convey
How much you mean to me, I got to say
I hope that I can be

A little bit like you, in everything I do
Just to let you know, you can count on me, I’ll be right there for you
That’s why I wrote this song, it took me all night long
Trying to let you know, you can count on me, I’ll be right there for you

I know you never judged, me or my mistakes but
You always helped me up, and never let me down
Unconditional, how lucky am I?
Mama, you set the bar so high (oh, so high)

Don’t know if I could ever fill those shoes
Put myself second like you always do
I keep repeating it because it’s true,
I hope that I can be

A little bit like you, in everything I do
Just to let you know, you can count on me, I’ll be right there for you
That’s why I wrote this song, it took me all night long
Trying to let you know, you can count on me, I’ll be right there for you

Now that I’m not at home and I’m out on my own
I hate to think of you there miss’n me (oh no)
Even with the change, I’m gonna stay the same
You should know I’ll always be your girl, your girl

A little bit like you, in everything I do
Just to let you know, you can count on me, I’ll be right there for you
That’s why I wrote this song, it took me all night long
Trying to let you know, you can count on me, I’ll be right there for you.

(…And yeah, I’ll call you when I get there.)
