PERFECT MOTHER

Maybe you want to stay at home

Do the dishes

Like they all did in the seventies

Who am I to think that’s lame

Maybe you want to travel the world

And sail the sees with your mini-me

And your nanny, I won’t mind

If you ask me

But there’s always someone out there to judge you

Sayin’ work less or work even more

So here’s my love letter to you

Cause one thing I know for sure

We all do our best

And sometimes that’s great

And sometimes it’s a mess

We all fall short

It ain’t picture perfect

Behind every door

(No) I haven’t found her, the perfect mother

Maybe you want it all

Just like me

Forever stuck in tomorrow’s dream

I hope you take it easy on yourself

And let go of who might judge you

Sayin’ want less or want even more

Here’s my love letter to you

Cause one thing I know for sure

We all do our best

And sometimes that’s great

And sometimes it’s a mess

We all fall short

It ain’t picture perfect

Behind every door

(No) I haven’t found her, the perfect mother

Have you found her, the perfect mother

We’ll never find her, the perfect mother
