Mommy's Angel

I never was, I never was
Mommy's little angel child
I couldn't learn, no,
Just how to hold on
Just how to hold on
And if we can learn to hold,
Hold on to your hand
Then you, you wanted us to learn
How to at least hold on to our own breath
To our own breath
You said, "You'd better learn
Oh, how to hold on to your own breath
'Cause no one's gonna do that for you, child
No, no, no, no one's gonna do that for you, child."
And so you threw stones in
And you, you wanted us to retrieve them
To dive on down, down, down
Down to the bottom
Yeah, you threw stones in
And, momma, you knew
That I would be the first to
I'd be the first to dive in
After then, I'd be the first to dive in
And momma, I know that
You wanna thicken my,
You wanna thicken my skin
But I still want you,
I want to let you in
You wanna thicken my,
You wanna thicken my
But I still want to,
I want to let you in
So you'd best be so careful, boy
And you'd best be so careful, girl
How am I gonna let you
How am I supposed to let you
How am I going to let you in?
Let you in
I'm gonna let you in
Let you in
You wanna thicken my,
You wanna thicken my skin
But I still want you,
I wanna let you in
You wanna thicken my,
You wanna thicken my skin
But I still want to,
I want to let you in
So please be so careful, boy
And please be so careful, girl
'Cause I'm gonna let you
Yeah, I'm gonna let you
I'm going to let you in
