[00:33.67]As a child I missed a lot of love I never had
[00:37.76]And daddy he was distant
[00:39.62]Never there to hold my hand
[00:42.40]Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me
[00:46.72]Mother made up for him always watching over me
[00:51.23]Days would go by and we would never see his face
[00:55.64]In my mind I'd wonder "does he have another place"
[01:00.22]If and when he'd come in he would always be upset
[01:04.53]All the kids were scared his looks alone would be a threat
[01:09.18]Now that you are older and you begin to see
[01:13.48]Family's important to be there if you need
[01:17.81]Father never taught us these things mom said to me
[01:22.43]Now the table's turned so tell me
[01:24.44]You need me
[01:26.46]Tell me

[01:48.99]I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me
[01:53.50]Now you try to give I'm always reaching out to grab
[01:57.68]I'll give you what I can but I can't give what I don't have
[02:02.41]Mother lends a shoulder to cry on if you need
[02:05.49]Mother lends a shoulder
[02:06.66]But are you there for mother when she needs your company
