[Intro]
Hi, baby
G C G C
.............
[Verse 1]
G C
Yes, I had a dad
G C
But a woman taught me how to be a man
G
At the age of six, my parents split
C
I was left there fatherless
G
Mom's heart would never heal from it
C
She traded her heart for her kids
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
She would cry while we were sleep
D C
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak
[Chorus]
G
A broken home's like broken bones
C
It's never whole when left alone
G C
But she was there to gather all the pieces
G
She would never find another
C
But we always had each other
G C G
There's no one tougher than a single mother
C
Oh
[Verse 2]
Yeah
G
..Single mother workin' twice as hard
C
Just to give her kids a better life, she took so many jobs
G
Workin' 9 to 5 and 5 to 9, never took a day off
C
Never had no help but there ain't **** that she afraid of, yeah
G
She had a hole in her heart but kept a smile on her face
C
Pulled me close every time I tried to run away
G
She let her own dreams die just to see mine live
C
Strugglin' inside but never showed it to her kids, well
[Pre-Chorus]
D C
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) I know, yeah
She would cry while we were sleep
D C
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak
[Chorus]
G
A broken home's like broken bones
C
It's never whole when left alone
G C
But she was there to gather all the pieces
G
She would never find another
C
But we always had each other
G C G
There's no one tougher than a single mother
[Bridge]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]

She would cry while we were sleep
D C
(Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh-ooh)
And never showed us she was weak
[Chorus]

A broken home's like broken bones
C
It's never whole when left alone
