Mommy's in the kitchen
Steam rising from the stove
By her feet a cookie sheet
We draw our names in Jell-O
I'll never know what it was like not to have a man
To raise these children on your own with no plan
God you're crazy but I love the way you raised me
We never had much to speak of
But I never wanted for love
You said we are here together
And honey that is all that matters
I'll never know what it was like not to have a man
To raise these children on your own with no plan
God you're crazy but I love the way you raised me
I got a brother for a dad that's more than you ever had
Got another in the ground peace he never found
Got a way to live my life got a way to feel myself
And I...
I'll never know what it was like not to have a man
To raise these children on your own with no plan
God your crazy but I love the way you raised me and
Oh you're crazy but I love the way you raised me and
Oh you're crazy but I love the way mmmm
Mom your crazy but I love the way you raised me
Love the way you loved me
Love the way mmmm
I love the way you raised me
