Oh I know my mom is getting older Her knees are just too weak to hold her And it's my job to take care of her But the smoke is just too sweet to kick Mom will understand I did my best As I light up beside her bed Every puff is laced with selfishness Oh I could but I don't want to quit I swear to God that I love my mother I swear to God that I love my mother Once she's gone I can't replace her Yeah I promise you that I love my mother Ooh ooh oooh oooh I know she needs to get some air So I take her to the ocean where The oil stains can soak her hair And as the cancer starts to spread I put plastic down to line her bed It's bad but who cares once she's dead My convenience is priority My excuses reign like a tyrant king I swear to God that I love my mother I swear to God that I love my mother Once she's gone I can't replace her Yeah I promise you that I love my mother Ooh ooh oooh oooh I know that time is running out And my kids will suffer from my doubt But I'm just way too comfortable to change  I swear to God that I love my mother I swear to God that I love my mother Once she's gone I can't replace her I promise I still love my mother At least I think I love my mother
