Between A Mother And A Child Lyrics - Metropolitan Hotel - Chely Wright

I know you don't like me 

Don't like the things I do 

The saddest part just might be 

That I don't like you too 

You think you know my story 

Well maybe you did for a little while 

I guess that's the way it goes sometimes 

Between a mother and a child 

All my life you've reminded me 

How you struggled nine long months 

Your achin' back and your swollen feet 

How you almost lost me once 

You say you gave up everything 

All the dreams you had 

Told us kids we're the only reason 

You stayed there with our dad 

And you want me to cry for you 

You want me to feel the way you do 

I'm sorry your life let you down 

But the fault it is not mine 

It's not supposed to be like this 

Between a mother and a child 

You want me to just agree 

With everything you say 

Call my dad the bad guy 

Make him pay and pay and pay 

It's really not my business 

It never was or will ever be 

But I know nobody's perfect 

And that's counting you and me 

Yeah that's counting you and me 

I don't remember all that happened 

Mama I was just a kid 

But if it really was all that bad 

Why do you wish I did? 

You want me to cry for you 

I'll never feel the way you do 

I'm sorry your life let you down 

But the fault it is not mine 

It's not supposed to be this way 

Between a mother and a child 

Oh a mother and a child 

You're my mother and I'm your child
