From Daughter To Mother
From Daughter to Mother
I believe you really love him
But there's something I must say
So please listen closely to me
While I'm trying to explain
That you are only fifteen
But you think the time has come
To make all your own decisions
I've been where your coming from
Knowing you can handle it
If they'd only let you try
Just know when I was your age
I saw the reasons girls cry
Saw them wish that they were older
And go prove at any cost
That they were not just little girls
And their innocence was lost
Know it always has been different
Cause a boy becomes a man
And he's treated like a hero
But the girl not so grand
She receives a reputation
That is spread across the land
Cause the boy is out there telling
Almost everyone he can
He don't tell them how he told you
That you'd be the only one
He won't tell them how you begged him
To let you change your mind
And all his friends will be there laughing
When he comes and says to you
I've got everything I wanted
So the two of us are through
He's not going to be there for you
When you have to read the stick
And he won't be there on the mornings
That you keep on getting sick
Plus the clock will go on ticking
And soon you'll have to verify
If you are going to keep your baby
Or choose to let it die
I don't think that you should have to
Make a choice like that today
You should wait until your old enough
To come to me and say
I'm so glad that I took your advice
It's the reason I've become
A well respected young adult
That's prepared to be a mom
