Single Mom
I’m a ‘tough little cookie’ when I have to be
Until this life gets the better of me
I can’t compete with the rest of you
So I’d appreciate it if ya didn’t ask me to
I’ve been holdin’ my own
And that there makes me proud
But my pat on the back
Got displaced in the crowd
I need reassurance
That I’m doing this right
Please tell me this struggle
Is well worth the fight
