Motherfather - Lyrics by Musiq Soulchild


Lyrics
[
Chorus]

Mother-
Father before I forget

Thank you for all that you have been to me

And just in case you are wondering I love you

[
Verse 1]
I know that our difference caused

Us to waste so much of our time we could have used

Getting to know each and one another

But now that I've grown into my own

And learned some things about life
I now can see that it wasn't easy to raise someone like me

[
Chorus]

[
Verse 2]
I remember those days when you used to sit me down

And try to school me about the plenty opportunities in life

Hoping and wishing and praying that something would stick

And somehow click within this mind of mine

See you used to say, if you throw enough on the wall

Something is bound to rub off

And I'm here to tell you
That you don't have to really worry about me at all

[
Chorus]

[
Bridge]

Listen now

There was no limit to all the things that you've done

And would have for me my sisters and brothers

And I'll never understand how you would talk all day long

And just as you said, in one ear and out the other

Isn't it funny how things change when you get older?

Now I know that I'll never find another
Love like yours inside anyone else

[
Chorus (repeat 4x)]
