mother's eyes

Everybody leaves
But that don't take the pain away
But no matter how dirty you do me
I'ma pray for you anyway (huh)
'Cause it ain't worth it (huh)
To hold no grudge
'Cause there was still someone
You were somebody to hold me

When I look in your eyes, they look just like your mother's
When I hear your voice, you sound just like your brother
And you still got your grandma's touch (you still got your grandma, I can't even lie)
And I can't even lie, you got temper like your father
But it never really lasts, 'cause you so gentle like your sister
Maybe that's enough

When we were younger (mm-mm)
And I was playing alone (I was playing alone)
And nobody noticed me (oh, nobody no)
You would sit beside me (sit beside)
When I went to college
And I was stuck in my room (when I was stuck in my room, oh)
And everybody ghosted me
You would still check up (you would still check up, ooh-oh)

When I look in your eyes, they look just like your mother's (ooh-ooh)
When I hear your voice, you sound just like your brother (ooh-ooh)
And you still got your grandma's touch (ooh)
(Nothing else, maybe that's enough, even lie)
And I can't even lie, you got temper like your father (your father)
But it never really lasts, 'cause you so gentle like your sister (just like)
Maybe that's enough (ooh)
You got your mother's eyes (mm-mm-mm)
You got your mother's eyes, woah, woah, woah (maybe that's enough)

That's enough, maybe, that's enough
You got your mother's eyes, lil baby
Maybe that's enough
And you pray just like my grandma
Maybe that's enough (grandma)
You sneeze just like grandpa used to
Maybe that's enough (grandpa)
You got the same laugh as your auntie
Maybe that's enough
You got the same smile as your cousin
Maybe that's enough (ooh, as your cousin)
My daddy always said those words
Maybe that's enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, you got your mother's eyes

When I look in your eyes, they look just like your mother's
When I hear your voice, you sound just like your brother
And you still got your grandma's touch
And I can't even lie, you got temper like your father
But it never really lasts, 'cause you so gentle like your sister
Maybe that's enough
