Bon Jovi – If I Was Your Mother

Posted in Bon Jovi | 3 comments

Tell me what I got to do to make my life mean more to you! I could get so close it’s true! This is taken from my favorite Bon Jovi album, the 1992 “Keep the Faith” – and it’s arguably the brashest song from this Bob Rock produced album.

Who’s Bob Rock? Well, he’s the producer behind Metallica’s albums: Metallica – Metallica (Black Album), Load & Reload.

Why is “Keep the Faith” my favorite Bon Jovi album? Well, I have 11 reasons – “I Believe”, “Keep the Faith”, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”, “In These Arms”, “Bed of Roses”, “If I Was Your Mother”, “Dry County”, “Fear”, “I Want You”, “Blame It on the Love of Rock & Roll” and “Starting All Over Again”.

Bon Jovi – If I Was Your Mother

If I was your mother
Would you let me hold your hand
Would you say you were my baby
Would you always be my friend

If I was your mother
Could I teach you what’s right
Could I tell you stories
Maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight

Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it’s true
If I was your mother

Would you always believe me
‘Cause I’d wake up in the middle
Of the night
Just to see if you need me

Tell me there’s no mother
To who you’re telling your secrets
And would you tell me
‘Bout all the boys you been
Bringing home to meet me

When love is blood
You’re never on trial
Love don’t get deeper
Than a mother & child
Oh baby, I got to get that
Close to you

Tell me what I got to be
To make you a part of me
There’s no one else you’d ever need
If I was your
