My mother warned me love would knock me out She liked it to a hammer on the soul
When I asked her why With a smile in her eyes She said "When you know you know" ♪ When I was seventeen I went to Rome I searched the ruins and the catacombs The beauty took my breath, but I've got to admit Not my mother's hammer ♪ I loved a man who never loved himself I left him, then I drank myself to hell I woke up with a stranger In a mansion by the sea Not my mothers hammer ♪ Years later, I stood up and dusted off
It took a while to nurse me back to health Harnessing the power, a king in her new tower Still not my mother's hammer ♪ My friend decided she would take her life ♪ She spent her days here suffering in pain Her daughters left alone They etched her name in stone Losing faith in mother's hammer ♪ The day she died you came to my friend door Bearing all the comforts I adore
You sat with me in bed And that's moment when I first felt mother's hammer ♪ I felt it echo through my bloody bones I felt it flood the spaces in between I felt you take my jaw And kiss my lips so raw I felt my mother's hammer hitting me My mother warned love would knock me out She liked it to a hammer on the soul
The children in me fight God damn she's always right I found my mother's hammer
