Oh, Mother Lyrics by Lauren Mayberry
Dress me up, take me to school
Parties with birthday balloons
And you teach me about all the bad and good
Oh, Mother, I couldn’t do without you
Swimming pools and your deep blue eyes
Put pennies in ’til I won a prize
I nearly tripped and fell, but you caught me twice
Oh, Mother, I couldn’t do without you
Oh, Mother, I couldn’t do without you
Temper tantrums with makeup on
Headphones in, I know you hate this song
And you call to me, but I’m already gone
Oh, Mother, I could do without you
Brand new city and a worn-out flat
Late night noises with the cider and black
And all these broken promises, I’ll call you back
Oh, Mother, I could do without you
Oh, Mother, I could do without you
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Making my bed in a wooden house
Thinking about if make you proud
And it kills me to know you won’t be around
Oh, Mother, what will I do without you?
If only I could go back in time
I’d stay a little longer and make things right
But for now, I’ll call you to say goodnight
Oh, Mother, what will I do without you?
Oh, Mother, what will I do without you?
Oh, Mother, what will I do without you?
