My Mother Doesn'T Need Me

My mother does not need me
To wish her a happy day
That's made for only mothers
Who love in every way

My mother does not need me
To her I'm just a lie
And if I haven't told you
It's me she does deny

My mother does not need me
She's made it very clear
Her pride lies with her boys
While I'm the one she fears

My mother does not need me
And frankly I don't care
Cause all the love that she has showin'
Has caused me great despair

My mother does not need me
She has so many friends
If she wants true happiness
On them she can depend
