[Verse 1]
There is a woman
North of Santa Fe
She lived in New York
Back in the day
Before the yuppies took over Chelsea
Before The Beatles took over the states

[Verse 2]
My first apartment
A nine-month lease
My food and water provided for free
I broke the door down
And left her in pain, oh
But she forgave me
And gave me my name

[Chorus]
Nobody loves you like your mother
Nobody loves you likе that girl
Not your father, sister, or brother
Nobody in this wholе damn world
Not every question has an answer
But this is one I know for sure
Nobody loves you like your mother
Nobody loves you like that girl, oh no
[Verse 3]
I came to know her
In all of her grace
Her words of wisdom
The smile on her face
I learned to listen
Instead of just scream, oh
I heard the music
Inside her heartbeat

[Chorus]
Nobody loves you like your mother
Nobody loves you like that girl
Not your father, sister, or brother
Nobody in this whole damn world
Not every question has an answer
But this is one I know for sure
Nobody loves you like your mother
Nobody loves you like that girl, oh no

[Verse 4]
And when she leaves me
To go her on way
I will be broken
I won't be okay
But I'll remember
The gift that she gave, oh
Just like my father
My father would say
[Chorus]
Nobody loves you like your mother
Nobody loves you like that girl
Not your father, sister, or brother
Nobody in this whole damn world
Not every question has an answer
But this is one I know for sure
Nobody loves you like your mother
Nobody loves you like that girl, oh no
