Betty Boop This Ones for You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Coffee on the counter, lunch boxes in a row Two little shadows asking where their clean socks go She checks the fever, ties a shoe, finds the missing coat Keeps the whole place moving with a laugh caught in her throat [Pre-Chorus] Bills on the table, long day at the door She takes one breath, then gives them more [Chorus] She keeps two boys healthy, keeps two boys strong Makes a little go a long, long way along When the hard days hit and the plans fall through She wipes her hands, smiles, says, “We’ll make it through” One heart holding up this home, steady and true Betty boop this ones for you [Verse 2] A scraped-up knee, a packed-up snack, a jacket for the chill She knows which one needs extra time, which one just needs still She carries every grocery bag and every worry too Then asks them how their day went like she’s got nothing left to do [Pre-Chorus] The sink runs late, the clock runs fast She makes the good in a hard day last [Chorus] She keeps two boys healthy, keeps two boys strong Makes a little go a long, long way along When the hard days hit and the plans fall through She wipes her hands, smiles, says, “We’ll make it through” One heart holding up this home, steady and true Betty boop this ones for you [Bridge] Some nights the quiet comes in slow She sits a minute, lets the tired show Then little arms come climbing in And there’s that smile, and she starts again [Final Chorus] She keeps two boys healthy, keeps two boys strong Turns a rough day round before it’s gone When the hard days hit and the plans fall through She wipes her hands, smiles, says, “We’ll make it through” One heart holding up this home, steady and true Betty boop this ones for you
