Watching the chasm grow wider Standing at opposite sides She's not backing down I'm not backing down Come hell or high water I'm my mother's daughter You recognize my independence Well, I come by it honestly I was born with the fire She was born with the fire And nothing can stop her She's her mother's daughter You think I'm easy to love Just try to push me around You wanna rile me up Just tell me to calm down I'm my mother's daughter I never thought she understood me I swore we're nothing alike Now the older I get I was wrong, I admit This stubborn, fast talker Is her mother's daughter A girl's allowed to complain About her mama sometimes If you say one little thing About her, you're gonna find I'm my mother's daughter ♪ She knows she's riding my case I know I rattle her nerves We both know just what to say To make the other one hurt If anyone is strong enough to change To bend To break To learn Then it's my mother's daughter It's my mother I'm my mother's daughter Come hell or high water I'm my mother's daughter Come hell or high water Come hell or high water I'm my mother's daughter Come hell or high water Come hell or high water I'm my mother's daughter
