You know exactly what to say and do
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you

You're always there when I'm feeling blue
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you

I fall down and skin my knee
But my mama's always there for me
She picks me up, pats my head
Careful next time is what she says

When I am scared holds my hand
Explains things I don't understand
She teaches what I need to know
The things that help me learn and grow

You know exactly what to say and do
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you

You're always there when I'm feeling blue
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you

When I was learning to draw
And it was getting real tough
You didn't let me quit said not to give up, oh no
Well, I love you mom

I gave you a flower, true love is power
Hug me for what seem like hours
Put it in a vase and smiled for days
You always said you're proud of me

One word will not do, I need two more
To say I love you, and another I love you mom
Throw up my hands, scratch my head
What's the best gift that I can give
You just said it, oh yeah I love you mom

I love my mom, I love my mom
I love my mom, I love my mom
I love my mom, I love my mom
I love my mom

You know exactly what to say and do
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you

You're always there when I'm feeling blue
It's the mother in you
It's the mother in you

You know I love you mama
Oh, yes you know it's true
You know that I love you
