SHE'S NO CAKE ON THE TAKE-MOM DOES WHAT SHE CAN
She works so hard it's true
Her kids are hungry too
But still she sees it through
With no idea what to do
May have it sweet for you
But she's no cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the
She's no cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the
She's no cake on the take
There in the weary eyes
That she pays not to cry
Is a forgotten thing
Just like a wedding ring
And she may win or break
But she's no cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the
She's no cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the take
Cake on the
She's no cake on the take...
-Guitar intro-
Does what she can
Does what she can
Dear Daddy
You know she fell apart for you
But mom does what she can
There's no one that can make her
Forget you
Although I wish they can
Well there's a dad you know
I wish I had
Never leaves my mummy alone
Lonely sad and crying
You left us here
You know it makes me mad
Because my mom
Does what she can
But where is her man
By now
Your kids are all much older
Do you recognize us now?
I'll bet you think that we're all bastards too
Although you taught us how
You know it really wasn't very nice
Treating her as though she was
Some kind of romantic nothing
And Grandma says you're something called a cad
You never realized just what you had
Where did you go?
And did it make you glad?
Because my mom
She does what she can
But where is her man
Mom, mom, mom, mom
Does what she can
But where is her...?
Does what she can
Does what she can...
Does what she can, what she can, what she can...
