"Single Mothers" lyrics

"Single Mothers"

Single mother
Middle daughter
Blames her father
Cause he never bothered
And you be hard pressed to find
Someone to tell her she's wrong
Single mother, just gotta move on

Absent father
Oh, never offers
Even a dollar
He doesn't seem to be bothered
By the fact that he's forfeit his rights
To his own now
Absent father, he's long gone

Oh, you betta watch what you say
And oh, you betta what what you do
Cause you know every time
Oh that you tell a lie
Well you know someone could be
Watching you, oh no

Their little eyes
They don't see the little lines
Tween wrong and right
Tween day and night
You get em started stealing
They'll grow up bitter and cold
Single mother, absent father
Broken home
