Oh, growing up I wanted to be like you
Showin love was her embrace
I never want to dissapoint you
Now that I see, that every word you say
Makes me a better person
In this world today
Take my hat off to my mother
Such a sweet lady
There will never be another
One like you
Take my hat off to my mother
Such a sweet lady
There will never be another
One like you
Whenever I need her
She's always there
Better release me
But I'm not quite there
So educated
Taught me all that I know
And I want to thank her
For making me whole
Take my hat off to my mother
Such a sweet lady
There will never be another
One like you
Take my hat off to my mother
Such a sweet lady
There will never be another
One like you
