Текст Carolyn Dawn Johnson – Mothers

I can still remember that wrong side of midnight
You sitting on your couch, waiting for my headlights
I can still remember how I felt when you said
«Don’t think I don’t know you got whiskey on your breath»

I’d get 17 mad
‘Cause you were ruining my life
Back when I knew it all
And you were never right

Mothers and daughters
Daughters and mothers
For a few years they’re
Like oil and water
Then one day they discover
That they need each other
Mothers and daughters
Daughters and mothers

I can just imagine all the prayers you prayed
When I went off to college and didn’t call for days
I can just imagine how you bit your tongue
When I brought him home for Christmas and swore he was the one

When he spun his tires
And took off down the road
When he left me crying
You never said I told you so

Mothers and daughters
Daughters and mothers
For a few years they’re
Like oil and water
Then one day they discover
That they need each other

It starts out as a lullaby
With momma singing «Hush baby don’t you cry»
And you turn around and they’re a great divide
And somehow you come out the other side

Mothers and daughters
Daughters and mothers
For a few years they’re
Like oil and water
Then one day we discover
That we need each other
Mothers and daughters
Daughters and mothers

Mothers and daughters
Ooh-ooh
Daughters and mothers
Ooh-ooh
Mothers and daughters
Ooh-ooh
Daughters and mothers
Ooh-ooh
