Sheryl Crow - Stay at Home Mother lyrics

Riding in the backseat Sipping on a Pepsi Looking out the window Driving to the bus stop together I tell her Only 3 sleeps and I'll be right back And that we're gonna have A good time When I come to get her And I'll call every single night I'll miss her every day But as she kisses me and waves goodbye I could hear her say (Chorus) Stay at home Mother Stay at home Stay at home Mother Stay at home I've been working late nights Making up for the times That I wasn't in the crowd Cheering out loud at her school plays Tickets to the circus Maybe a new bike I just want her to know That I love her More than working all day But the price will never measure up to What's inside a box While I run her all around the world She tells me to stop (Repeat Chorus) We could play house and pretend That tomorrow You won't be gone Stay at home Mother Stay at home Wishing things were different Doesn't change one memory My little girl grew up While I was too busy to see Now she's become the one thing That I could never be (Repeat Chorus) Where she could have a house And a couple of kids And never have to be alone As a Stay at home Mother Stay at home Mother Stay at home [Thanks to Alexis for lyrics]
