Taking a chance calling off being his mother
Catching that dream before the moment dies
Man overboard, he was just good for playing
Hooky and head games but as dad no dice
Daughter can't speak but it's not for to trying
'Cause words they always fail when the time is ripe
She'd rather her girl seen an imperfect dream
That dwindling love blink and a dying soul, that's not right
Packing up, her eyes catch her reflection
Peering through at the ghost she once knew
One last round, she'll stop to kiss both her loves
Daughter in bed, and the cat that makes two
Taking it, taking it, take, take it over
Taking it, taking it, take, take it over
Taking it, taking it, take, take it over
Taking it, taking it, take, take it over
I just need time, just need the time to try
I just need time, just need the time to try
I just need time, just need the time to try
I just need time, just need the time to try
Pounding the pavement, now she's Nobody's mother
Looking around she knows she's well past her prime
Invisible steps will never let you forget it
Overlooked eyes, they just won't give you the time
Perfectly coiffed is the pretty world around
Flawlessly young, no scars of time
Push through the door someone speaks without looking
Sit, take a number, wipe your soul off the floor
What do you have that nobody else has?
Please speak up, 'cause I haven't got time
I was the woman who gave all to rise you
I am the mother that noone will hire
Taking her, taking her, take, take her over
Taking her, taking her, take, take her over
Taking her, taking her, take, take her over
Taking her, taking her, take, take her over
