Sheryl Crow - Stay at Home Mother lyrics

Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi
Lookin' out the window
Drivin' to the bus stop together i tell her
"Only three sleeps and I'll be right back
And that we're gonna have a good time
When I come to get her"
And I'll call her every single night
I'll miss her every day
But as she kissed me and waved goodbye
I could hear her say

"Stay at home, mother stay at home
Stay at home, mother stay at home"

I've been workin' late nights making
Up for the times that I wasn't in the crowd
Cheerin' out loud at her school plays
Tickets to the circus, maybe a new bike
I just want her to know that I
Love her more than working all day
But the price will never measure up
Yo what's inside a box
While I run her all around the world
She tells me to stop

Stay at home, mother stay at home
Stay at home, mother stay at home

We could play house and pretend
That tomorrow you won't be gone
Stay at home, mother stay at home

Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh

Wishing things were different
Doesn't change one memory
My little girl grew up
While I was too busy to see
Now she's become the one thing
That I could never be

A stay at home mother stay at home
A stay at home mother stay at home

She can have a house and couple of kids
And never have to be alone
As a stay at home mother
Stay at home, mother stay at home
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
