She is calm until she's not at all And then she's crazier than anyone And falls apart like brisket from the bone She speaks her mind and she is kind To animals and people who deserve her love She is raw She knocked her front teeth out three times And can't wait to tell anyone Who'll listen long enough to see the pics And she is brave and she's new wave And untraditional and loyal to her friends Oh and she is lovely and she is strange She's amazing in a way that can't be tamed She knows where she belongs She's herself and she is strong That's why I love your mom She is loud but in a fun endearing way That nobody could replicate Or fabricate enough to be believed And she is grand and in command And doesn't give a damn about what anybody else might think She is funny she loves photography And guarantees and possibilities And pasta pomodoro in the sun And she is chic and so unique And can wear clothing that nobody else quite could Oh and she is lovely and she is strange She's amazing in a way that can't be tamed She knows where she belongs She's herself and she is strong That's why I love your mom And I love your mom because she gave me you And it was hard on her but she came through She didn't feel much like herself Because she carried someone else And she was beautiful and she is beautiful She's impatient You don't want to be on the other end of the phone If she's got a customer dispute she can't resolve She gets obsessed and sometimes stressed When worrying she can't chase everything she loves Oh but she is lovely and she is strange She's amazing in a way that can't be tamed She knows where she belongs She's herself and she has the son That's why I love your mom That's why I love your mom That's why I love your mom
