Now You Want To Be Mom

A beating here a beating there,I don't 
understand I'm just a kid, Your not being a 
mom. A beating here a beating there, such 
hateful words from someone who I'm supposed to 
hold near, Your not being a mom. A beating here 
a beating there, a black eye, a fat lip, your
not being a mom. A beating here a beating 
there, once a day sometimes more, your not
being a mom. Now i'm grown and far from home,
starting a life" all my own" And you want to be 
Mom.
