I Am My Own Mother

I can’t wait
‘Til I’m carrying
My own damn weight
Walking on my two strong feet
Completely weaned
From you
Time to let go
Jump from the cradle
Of this old lifeboat
You were happily my captain
And I was the captive in tow
Until I learned to float
Alone
Now, I am my own best friend
I am my own true lover
I am my savior
I am my own mother
I am my own mother
Partner dancing’s so sweet
But it’s hard to land when you’re
Swept off your feet
Oh, how I want to be just
Hopping and skipping and jumping
To my own beat
Completely weaned
Some of my friends say
“Perhaps it’s time you try S.L.A.A? “
Perhaps it’s time I finally turn the page
Quit crawling
Back to you
So, I am my own best friend
I am my own true lover
I am my savior
I am my own mother
Oh I needed you to hold me
To keep me safe and cozy
And warm
And you needed to be needed
You were eager just to please and
Be my knight in shining armor
But I don’t wanna be your baby anymore
Don’t call me your baby anymore
‘Cause I am my own best friend
I am my own true lover
I am my savior
I am my own mother
Don’t let me be your baby anymore
Don’t call me your baby anymore
Cuz I am my savior
I am my own mother
Don't let me be your baby anymore
Don't call me your baby anymore
Cuz I am my savior
I am my own mother
