Like My Mother Does (American Idol Performance)

Lauren Alaina

People always say
I have a laugh
Like my mother does
Guess that makes senseShe taught me how to smile
When things get roughI've got her spirit
She's always got my back
When I look at her
I think, I want to be just like thatWhen I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother doesWhen I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
Like my mother doesI never met a stranger
I can talk to anyone
Like my mother doesI let my temper fly
And she can walk away
When she's had enoughShe sees everybody
For who they really are
I'm so thankful for her guidance
She helped me get this farWhen I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother doesWhen I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother doesShe's a rock
She is grace
She's an angel
She's my heart and soul
She does it allWhen I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother doesWhen I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
Like my mother doesI hear people sayin'
I'm starting to look like my mother does
