Like My Mother Does
Lauren Alaina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have a laugh
Like my mother does
Guess that makes sense
She taught me how to smile
When things get rough
She's always got my back
When I look at her
I think, I want to be just like that
When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
Like my mother does
I never met a stranger
I can talk to anyone
Like my mother does
I let my temper fly
And she can walk away
When she's had enough
She sees everybody
For who they really are
I'm so thankful for her guidance
She helped me get this far
When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
She's a rock
She is grace
She's an angel
She's my heart and soul
She does it all
When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
Like my mother does
I hear people sayin'
I'm starting to look like my mother does

This song makes me think of my mom, who died two weeks ago today. My mom was a single mother who brought me up on her own. I definitely did not make it easy for her either! I never told her enough that I appreciated everything she sacrificed for me. Unfortunately, now it's too late. Please don't take your Mom for granted, she won't be there forever.
