Perfect Mother

PERFECT MOTHER

Maybe you want to stay at home
Do the dishes
Like they all did in the seventies
Who am I to think that’s lame

Maybe you want to travel the world
And sail the sees with your mini-me
And your nanny, I won’t mind
If you ask me

But there’s always someone out there to judge you
Sayin’ work less or work even more
So here’s my love letter to you
Cause one thing I know for sure

We all do our best
And sometimes that’s great
And sometimes it’s a mess

We all fall short
It ain’t picture perfect
Behind every door

(No) I haven’t found her, the perfect mother

Maybe you want it all
Just like me
Forever stuck in tomorrow’s dream
I hope you take it easy on yourself

And let go of who might judge you
Sayin’ want less or want even more
Here’s my love letter to you
Cause one thing I know for sure

We all do our best
And sometimes that’s great
And sometimes it’s a mess

We all fall short
It ain’t picture perfect
Behind every door

(No) I haven’t found her, the perfect mother
Have you found her, the perfect mother
We’ll never find her, the perfect mother
