Hey Ma Look What I Can Do
Hey Ma! Look what I can do without you!
I can make friends,
I can get into fights,
I can ride my bike,
I can color,
I can meet the monster,
I can keep secrets,
I can't know I'm beautiful, smart, funny,
I'm loved, how to love, I'm O'K,
it wasn't my fault without you.
Hey Ma! Look what I can do without you!
My first kiss,
my first ribbon,
my first beer,
my first joint,
my first boyfriend,
my first time,
I can't know I'm beautiful, smart, funny,
I'm more than one night, how to heal a broken heart,
a bottle of pills won't solve my problems,
I will get thru this, without you.
Hey Ma! Look what I can do without you!
Move to the southern most state,
pay my bills,
meet a man,
meet the wrong man,
get married,
have kids,
get beaten down, mentally and physically,
this is what I did without you.....
pull myself up,
kick him out,
get a divorce,
survive,
find true love and marriage,
raise my kids,
know I'm beautiful, smart and funny,
own my life, secrets, scars, weight,
love others,
love myself,
without you.
