Between a Mother and a Child

I know you don't like me
 Don't like the things I do
 The saddest part just might be
 That I don't like you too
 You think you know my story
 Well maybe you did for a little while
 I guess that's the way it sometimes goes
 Between a mother and a child
 All my life you've reminded me
 How you struggled nine long months
 Your achin' back and your swollen feet
 How you almost lost me once
 You say you gave up everything
 All the dreams you had
 Told us kids we're the only reason
 You stayed there with our dad
 CHORUS:
 And you want me to cry for you
 You want me to feel the way you do
 I'm sorry your life let you down
 But the fault it is not mine
 It's not supposed to be like this
 Between a mother and a child
 You want me to just agree
 With everything you say
 Call my dad the bad guy
 Make him pay and pay and pay
 It's really not my business
 It never was or will ever be
 But I know nobody's perfect
 And that's counting you and me
 Yeah that's counting you and me
 BRIDGE:
 I don't remember all that happened
 Mama I was just a kid
 But if it really was all that bad
 Why do you wish I did?
 CHORUS:
 You want me to cry for you
 I'll never feel the way you do
 I'm sorry your life let you down
 But the fault it was not mine
 It's not supposed to be like this
 Between a mother and a child
 Oh a mother and a child
 You're my mother and I'm your child
