Oh mother
What’s a broken heart full of good intentions
What’s a token preaching in the wrong direction
Teach me to blossom
Into a man
People will notice
And see what I am
Oh mother
Send me on the path to imperfection
A flower on the side for each lesson
I’ll pick ’em up for you
Soon as I can
Cause I can’t afford to be
Letting you down again
Teach me to blossom
Into a man
