[Verse 1]
Dress me up, take me to school
Parties with birthday balloons
And you teach me about all the bad and good
Oh, mother, I couldn't do without you

[Verse 2]
Swimming pools and your deep blue eyes
Put pennies in 'til I won a prize
I nearly tripped and fell, but you caught me twice
Oh, mother, I couldn't do without you
Oh, mother, I couldn't do without you

[Verse 3]
Temper tantrums with makeup on
Headphones in, I know you hate this song
And you call to me, but I'm already gone
Oh, mother, I could do without you

[Verse 4]
Brand new city and a worn-out flat
Late-night noises with the cider and black
And all these broken promises, I'll call you back
Oh, mother, I could do without you
Oh, mothеr, I could do without you
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 5]
Making my bed in a wooden house
Thinking about if I makе you proud
And it kills me to know you won't be around
Oh, mother, what will I do without you?

[Verse 6]
If only I could go back in time
I'd stay a little longer and make things right
But for now, I'll call you to say goodnight
Oh, mother, what will I do without you?
Oh, mother, what will I do without you?
Oh, mother, what will I do without you?
