Oh Mother Lyrics
she was so young with such innocent eyes
she always dreamt of a fairytale life
and all the things that your money cant buy
she thought that he was a wonderful guy
then suddenly things seemed to change
it was the moment she took on his name
he took his anger out on the face
she kept all of her pain locked away
oh mother we stronger for all of the tears you have shed
oh mother dont look back cause hell never hurt us again
so mother i thank you for all that youve done and still do
you got me i got you together we always pull through
it was the day that he turned on the kids
that she knew that she just had to leave him
so many voices inside of her head sayin over and over and over
you deserve much more than this
she was so sick of believin the lies and trying to hide
coverin the cuts and bruises
so tired of defending her life she couldve died fighting for the lives of the children
oh mother we stronger for all of the tears you have shed
oh mother dont look back cause hell never hurt us again
so mother i thank you for all that youve done and still do
you got me i got you together we always pull through
oh mother oh mother oh mother
all of your life you have spent burying her in regret
but mama hell never touch us again
for everytime he tried to break you down just remember who stood around
its over and we stronger and we never have to go back again
oh mother we stronger for all of the tears you have shed
oh mother dont look back cause hell never hurt us again
so mother i thank you for all that youve done and still do
you got me i got you together we always pull through
always pull through
i love you mom
she always dreamt of a fairytale life
and all the things that your money cant buy
she thought that he was a wonderful guy
then suddenly things seemed to change
it was the moment she took on his name
he took his anger out on the face
she kept all of her pain locked away
oh mother dont look back cause hell never hurt us again
so mother i thank you for all that youve done and still do
you got me i got you together we always pull through
that she knew that she just had to leave him
so many voices inside of her head sayin over and over and over
you deserve much more than this
she was so sick of believin the lies and trying to hide
coverin the cuts and bruises
so tired of defending her life she couldve died fighting for the lives of the children
oh mother dont look back cause hell never hurt us again
so mother i thank you for all that youve done and still do
you got me i got you together we always pull through
all of your life you have spent burying her in regret
but mama hell never touch us again

oh mother dont look back cause hell never hurt us again
so mother i thank you for all that youve done and still do

wow!! thank you for posting! I love this song and am glad being the first one to comment. it reminds me of "I'm OK" in her last album. They're both catchy songs and Christina surely did a nice job!
This song is beautiful. It's like a more powerful version of "I'm OK", dedicated to her mother.
shes deffinetly a great songwriter awesome voice i watched her sing this live it was really hard for her i love this song
I saw her performing this on MTV, and the first thing I thought when the song started was, "holy crap, is she re-doing Vois sur ton Chemin?" The beginning is almost exactly like the beginning of Vois sur ton Chemin from The Chorus soundtrack.

Very good song, but I disagree that is a more powerful version of I'm Ok. That song is more about the pain and hurt, it's not really a dedication like this one is. It's really nice though.
this is about her mothers struggle of being a single parent after her abusive father left. it's a good song, the album is amazing too. Hopefully there will be a uk tour soon. :)
Christina does use the beginning of "Vois Sur Ton Chemin" from Les Choristes for this song.
this is like the sequel to i'm ok off of her stripped album and it's talking about her mom and how she thought he was the right man for her but the when they got married she saw the real monster in him...and her mom got away from all that and made a better life for her kids
I love this song. It's great. One of her best in my opinion
