I always do what you want me to,
because I only want to make you proud.
You tell me that me telling you
that I do things to make you proud,
doesn't make any sense.
That I do make you proud.
But I still work hard,
and get good grades,
just so I can feel
like you are proud of me.
I love it when you're proud of me,
It makes me feel so good.
It makes me feel like I'm doing
a good job of working my ass off.
You're my mother,
but you're also a teacher,
so, even if you don't notice it,
you kind of bring the teacher attitude
home with you some times.
You expect us to get good grades,
and I work hard
to make sure that I do.
Sometimes, though,
I just need a break from this,
and just want everything to be easier.
