Mom I Love You More

Mom I love you more
than I think that you love me
Just read this little note
and at the end I'm sure you'll see

I love you so I let you
wash and comb my hair 
and buy me all my toys 
just to show you how I care

And cook for me and feed me
the things that make me strong
and when I'm tiered, but can't sleep
I let you sing a song

I only let you buy me clothes
'Cause I know it pleases you
and let you do those other things
all mother's like to do

I never tell you "NO"
that should meant a lot right there
and you living in my house
that I've agreed to share

And it's me who lets you work
until the day is done
just so I can go out
with my friends and have some fun

I only wrote this note
so you could plainly see
I've got to love you more
Than I think that you love me
