Lyrics
Hi, baby
Yes, I had a dad
But a woman taught me how to be a man
At the age of six, my parents split
I was left there fatherless
Mom's heart would never heal from it
She traded her life for her kids
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
She would cry while we would sleep
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak
A broken home's like broken bones
It's never whole when left alone
But she was there to gather all the pieces (to gather all the pieces)
She would never find another
But we always had each other
There's no one tougher than a single mother, oh
Yeah, single mother workin' twice as hard
Just to give her kids a better life, she took so many jobs
Workin' 9 to 5 and 5 to 9, never took a day off
Never had no help but there ain't shit that she afraid of, yeah
She had a hole in her heart but kept a smile on her face
Pulled me close every time I tried to just run away
She let her own dreams die just to see mine live
Strugglin' inside but never showed it to her kids, well
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) (I know)
She would cry while we would sleep
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak
A broken home's like broken bones
It's never whole when left alone
But she was there to gather all the pieces (to gather all the pieces)
She would never find another
But we always had each other
There's no one tougher than a single mother, oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
She would cry while we would sleep
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Yeah, yeah)
And never showed us she was weak
A broken home's like broken bones (broken bones)
It's never whole when left alone (left alone)
But she was there to gather all the pieces (to gather all the pieces)
She would never find another (find another)
But we always had each other
There's no one tougher than a single mother (than a single mother)
To all the single mothers out there
