Oh Mother

Whoa, oh, yeah She was so young with such innocent eyes She always dreamt of a fairytale life And all the things your money can't buy She thought that he was a wonderful guy Then, suddenly, things seemed to change It was the moment she took on his name He took his anger out on her face She kept all of her pain locked away Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed Oh mother, don't look back 'Cause he'll never hurt us again So, mother, I thank you For all you've done and still do You got me, I got you Together we always pull through We always pull through We always pull through Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother It was the day that he turned on his kids That she knew she just had to leave him So many voices inside of her head Saying over and over and over 'You deserve much more than this.' She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises) So tired of defending her life, she could have died Fighting for the lives of her children Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed (all of the tears you have shed) Oh mother, don't look back 'Cause he'll never hurt us again (He'll never hurt us again) So, mother, I thank you (thank you) For all that you've done and still do (still do) You got me, I got you (Yeah, you got me, and I got you) Together we always pull through Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother All of your life you have spent Burying hurt and regret But, mama, he'll never touch us again For every time he tried to break you down Just remember who's still around It's over, and we're stronger And we'll never have to go back again Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed Oh mother, don't look back (Oh mother, don't look back again) 'Cause he'll never hurt us again 'Cause he'll never hurt us again) So, mother, I thank you (And I thank you for everything you've done) For all that you've done and still do (Together we always move on) You got me, I got you (You got me, I got you) Together we always pull through (always pull through) We always pull through We always pull through I love you, mom --- Oh Mother - Christina Aguilera
