I want to join the PTA and bake cakes for the summer fete

I want to go to parents’ evening, and be told my kids are great!

I want to be a housewife, tuck the kids in at night

Give them a kiss and cuddle, while they read by torch light

 

I want to tell them stories, of when I was their age,

When I wanted to be a Spice Girl, and piercings were all the rage!

I want to be told that I’m uncool, and that my clothes are naff!

I want them to be happy, never fear their mother’s wrath

 

I want to take my kids to scouts, and make a family tea

I want all the other mums and dads to envy you and me

Two kids, two dogs, a lovely house, an office for me to write

A garage or a tool shed where you retreat every night…

 

A spare room for the grandparents, a garden with a tree

A treehouse for the kids above, and below, a hammock for you and me

Scraped knees and elbows a side, I will never make them cry

I want them to want for nothing until the day I die

 

See I just want the normal things,

I just want the world,

I just want us to be happy… Me and my best girl.
