Whenever I cry you aren’t there,
Whenever I succeed your not near,
You made me cry when I was younger,
Now I just get sad.

Every girl wants a mother,
It is so important,
Although your not there for me,
Although you never were,
I still really love you.

Whenever I fall you don’t help me,
Whenever I cry you don’t hold me,
When I was younger I didn’t get it,
I thought that’s how mothers were,
But now that I’m older,
I understand a bit more.

Every girl wants a mother,
It is so important,
Although your not there for me,
Although you never were,
I still really love you.

I was told that I must learn to forgive,
But what is not realized,
Is that I already did.

Every girl wants a mother,
It is so important,
Although your not there for me,
Although you never were,
I still really love you.

I kind of want to know why,
But I may never know,
But all I really know,
Is that…

Every girl wants a mother,
It is so important,
Although your not there for me,
Although you never were,
I still really love you.

And I really do.
