The mother in me wants to dry your tears
Settle all your worries and fears
Hold you close to my chest
And wish you to have all the best.
The lover in me needs you closer still
Even all through the night if you will
I'll hold your body close to mine
We'll talk about the future and lose track of time.
And will you be my everyman
And I'll love you in every way I can.
I'll play every role you need me to
Just as long as we walk in each others shoes.
The child in me needs a helping hand
Someone to catch me, a big strong man.
Someone to tell me it'll all be okay
When I'm lost in this world and can't find my way.
The friend in me wants to crack a joke
Make you laugh so hard you just might choke.
Talk about life, talk about love,
And talk about death and what's up above.
And will you be my everyman
And I'll love you in every way I can.
I'll play every role you need me to
As long as we walk in each others shoes.
