We mothers stand still so our daughters can look back and see how far they've come.
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But i promise momma's gon' be alright.
Viel Liebe schenkt mir Mutter nicht
Doch schlägt sie immer noch in mein Gesicht
Und ab und zu hab' ich geweint
Da hat sie lächelnd nur gemeint
Ein Mann weint nur, wenn seine Mutter stirbt.
Did you ever meet a mother that complained that her child phoned her too often? Me neither.
You've done nothing but tear this family apart since the day you arrived. You tried to drive a wedge between Steven and Sam, you did your best to destroy my marriage with Blake, you even pitted your own children against each other. The truth is Alexis, I'm a much better mother to your children than you ever were. Then again, you set the bar pretty low.
«Temper, temper», — his mum always chided. But in a fight, a temper can come in handy.
You... You`re gonna have to forgive me, Lian-Chu, cuz i`m gonna do something not too nice. I`ve thought it over and i know that everyone needs a mommy. But not them. Someday they`ll realize that you`re not one of them and they`ll eat you straight away or they`ll chase you out and you`ll be an orphan all over again. They`re not your real family, Lian-Chu. We are your real family.
My mama always told me that I'd make it
That I'd make it, so I made it
I put my back into it, my heart in it
So I did it, yeah I did it!
It's better not being a mum at all than being a bad one.
Oh, mammy... Oh, mammy, mammy blue...
Oh, mammy blue...
Oh, mammy... Oh, mammy, mammy blue...
Oh, mammy blue...
I may be your forgotten son
who wandered off at twenty-one.
It's sad to find myself at home
without you.
If I could only hold your hand
and say I'm sorry, yes I am,
I'm sure you'll really understand,
oh, mammy.
