Single Mommy U (C)2009 Michelle Chapman




Verse 1:

Tying up shoelaces,
taking out the trash

babies are all hungry,
and I aint got no cash.


I can't believe he walked away
and left us all alone,

I'm down, but I'm not out.
I'm gonna make this house a home.


Oh I love to see those babies smile ,
it's what my lifes about,

but they all need new shoes,
and the credit cards maxed out.



Chorus:

Oh I loved him and he left me,
and he left them too.

They never asked for none of this ,
what's a girl suppose to do?


They're hungry and their crying,
nothing in this world is free,

it's the school of hard knocks,
and I'm earning my degree.


Learned enough of lifes lessons
to last my whole life through,

but that's higher education
at Single Mommy U.



Instrumental



Verse 2 :

He said it'd be forever,
but we never stood a chance,

every pretty girl that came along,
he gave them all a glance.


Never thought that it would be like this,
there's times I wanna cry,

I'm on my knees, begging please,
give me the strength to try.


Though times are rough,
I've gotta be tough,
I've got to see this through,

Gonna graduate with honors
from Single Mommy U.



Chorus



Oh I loved him and he left me,
and he left them too.

They never asked for none of this ,
what's a girl suppose to do?


They're hungry and their crying,
nothing in this world is free,

it's the school of hard knocks,
and I'm earning my degree.


Learned enough of lifes lessons
to last my whole life through,

but that's higher education
at Single Mommy U.


tag out:

Listen all you young girls,
Better make sure his love's true

or you'll find yourself attending class
at Single Mommy U......
