The start of the song is an obvious ploy to make her seem relatable to the listener. She likes to do this quite a bit, like in the live soul stage performance of honey she says something similar about us, the listeners, being reflections of her gift.
The main message of the song however seems to be about how we all have a certain need for a maternal figure or presence within our life.
The first part of the song after the spoken word section seems to be about her personal longing for a mother sometimes, "who do you run to? Who can you run to? (hey ye yo)"... The part after this she seems to change into the yeyo "I'm yeyo".
Pretty obvious meaning.
