Mothers & Daughters

Sometimes when I think I'm in trouble

I'll tell a white lie

I'm usually a little bit late because

I'm terrible with time

Ironically, I don't believe in authority

'Cause she made me defiant

I'm ashamed to say there was a day

I cared about what my size is

I'm slowly becoming my mother (ooh)

We're even beginning to look like each other (ooh)

From screaming, "I hate you," and, "You're ruining my life"

To panic attacks about the day that she dies

I'm slowly becoming my mother

What an honor

I'll swear I have perfect vision except when I drive

If somebody offers tequila, I'll never think twice

I get too invested with political opinions online

If anyone needs anything, well, okay, give them mine

I'm slowly becoming my mother

We're even beginning to look like each other

From screaming, "I hate you," and, "You're ruining my life"

To panic attacks about the day that she dies

I'm slowly becoming

Mothers and daughters were raising each other

And talking our shit about fathers and brothers

And trying to break habits from her mother's mother

'Til you're twenty-something and realize you are her

I'm slowly becoming my mother

And someday when I have a daughter

She'll scream, "I hate you" and I'm ruining her life

And I'll call my mama, and she'll say, "It's alright"

'Cause someday she'll be her mother

What an honor

Hey, it's just me

Sorry I missed your call, and I love you with all my heart

And I think you're better, in much ways better

And I'm glad that everything is good

I love you with all my heart, bye
