I may look old for my years and these wrinkles on my face

They were put there by my kids I love so dear

They won't listen to what I say and it's turning my hair gray

The kids grow older and hurt me more each year

When they were little they sat on my knee I gave them all my love from the start

Now they're too big to sit on my knee they're stepping all over my heart



They're my own flesh and blood so no matter what they do

I will love them in a mother's special way

I pray to God each day and night that my kids turn out right

These are heartaches every mother has to pay

When they were little...

Oh yes they're stepping all over my heart
