Carry Me

Sophie B. Hawkins

Do you love your mother

The way I love mine

Expecting nothing of her

'Cause she was changing all the time

I couldn't take my mother

And I'll never hate my home

But I learned to rock myself child

And get on

Do you feel your mother

The way I feel mine

I tried to change the nature

But now I like it 'cause it's mine

And I let you love me up

And I let you bring me home

And I could go away

But I don't want to

I don't want to be too smart

I don't want to talk too fast

I don't want to look too precious

First impressions never last

There's always complications

Weird vibrations

Frustrations

Have patience

Do you love your mother

'Cause God I love mine

In a dream she let me love her

Gotta hand it to my mind

In case you never meet her

I'll tell you what it is

She was lonely like a woman

But she was just a kid
