Songdrops – The Mother's Day Song lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every day you keep me safe and warm and loved and fed,
But today's your special day; it was my turn instead.
So I got up at five A. M. I've been working hard since then.
Some things I didn't get quite right; next year I'll try again.
Just for you, I did my best to cut my own hair.
Some places came out pretty good and some are kind of bare.
I washed all your nicest clothes but the washer wasn't free,
So I used the dishwasher; pretty smart of me.
[Chorus]
Remember no one's perfect; every kid has faults.
Remember it's the thought that counts more than the results.
My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong.
It was all to say,
On Mother's Day,
My love for you is strong.
[Verse 2]
I vacuumed very quietly; I didn't use the power.
I cleaned your dirty iPad screen; I held it in the shower.
I painted all the ceilings. It was easy with the mop.
Now the carpet's painted too with cool rainbow drops!
I answered all your work emails with "Just leave me alone,"
And we gave a prince from Scamdinavia a home.
I watered all the houseplants with the garden hose.
I forgot to turn it off; sometimes that's how it goes.
[Chorus]
Remember no one's perfect, every kid has faults.
Remember it's the thought that counts more than the results.
My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong.
It was all to say,
On Mother's Day,
My love for you is strong.
[Verse 3]
Your car's shiny inside and out with lots of olive oil.
Who knew that oatmeal splatters up so high and far on boil?
I tried to make you orange juice but spilled it on the floor.
I tried to fry you bacon, we don't have a stove no more.
Since you can't really cook this week, I called the pizza place.
I emptied out the fridge and freezer so there's enough space.
They should be here any time: two dozen pizza pies.
I paid with your credit card, I hope that you're surprised.
[Chorus]
Remember no one's perfect. Every kid has faults.
Remember it's the thought that counts more than the results.
My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong.
It was all to say,
On Mother's Day,
My love for you is strong.
My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong.
It was all to say,
On Mother's Day,
My love for you is strong.
It was all to say,
On Mother's Day,
My love for you is strong.
Every day you keep me safe and warm and loved and fed,
But today's your special day; it was my turn instead.
So I got up at five A. M. I've been working hard since then.
Some things I didn't get quite right; next year I'll try again.
Just for you, I did my best to cut my own hair.

[Chorus]
Remember no one's perfect; every kid has faults.
Remember it's the thought that counts more than the results.
My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong.

My love for you is strong.

On Mother's Day,
My love for you is strong.
