between lady and child

starr_

They say sweetie you're not grown, you're just a child

You are far from adulthood, you my dear are too wild

I try to grow but my momma says no

She wont let me go

 

My mother tells me I'll be her baby till im fifty

She didn't tell me how bad she wanted me to stay a child

I'll still be a child when im fifty

As far as she's concerned 

 

My family says sweetie you are a child, you are not a lady yet

It's time to talk, come in her and sit

She says I know you are growing up and i know you live on your own

This has been coming, we've all know

And then she says but you're still my baby

And I say but I will still be a lady...maybe

    Touching.. That unbreakable bond between mother and child can sometimes feel more like bondage.
