Mother & Boy Lyrics

If you go away,

I won't be upset,

I'll convince myself that I'm not second best.

And if you stay away,

Well I won't be sad,

Life will carry on, just me and your dad.

Cause you can live your life,

I won't stand in your way,

But I will think about you every minute of every day,

And you can make mistakes,

I'll cut you some slack,

Cause it's your life now,

So choose your own path,

But I will worry cause I'm your mother and you're my boy.

Well I picked you up,

And I helped you to walk,

And you've been answering back, Ever since you could talk,

We played table football,

On Christmas morning,

A full family to feed

but you needed an opponent.

You can live your life,

I won't stand in your way,

But I will think about you every minute of every day,

And you can make mistakes,

I'll cut you some slack,

Cause it's your life now, so choose your own path,

But I will worry cause I'm your mother and you're my boy.

But I want you to know,

This will always be your home,

This will always be your home,

And even though you're grown,

This is still your home

Well I'm sorry if,

I caused you some stress,

But I want you to know, that you were never second best.

You've let me live my life,

And I thank you for that,

I know I've caused you strife,

Both you and my dad,

And yes I made mistakes,

But mistakes are okay,

Because I had the choice,

And I did it my way

So don't you worry, you're my mother and I'm your boy.

Don't you worry, you're my mother and I'm your boy,

Don't you worry, you're my mother and I'm your boy.
