Artist/Band: Tammy Wynette
Lyrics for Song: I Wish I Had a Mommy Like You
Lyrics for Album: Kids Say the Darndest Things [Epic] [1973]



(Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - Danny Walls)



There lives a little boy in the house next door to me

And as usual his mommy was gone

So he came over this morning and sat down next to me

And asked why does mommy leave me alone.



But he'll find out someday why his mommy stays away

And why a woman needs arms to hold her tight

And that she would stay at home and not leave him all alone

If his daddy didn't stay away at night.



He said I wish I had a mommy like you just like you

To hold me in her arms the way you do

When I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And I ask for a mommy like you.



Though a tear fell from his eye he was trying not to cry

I said don't worry everything will be all right

So you just wait and see and I held him close to me

Just like I held his daddy last night.



He said I wish I had a mommy like you just like you

To hold me in her arms the way you do

When I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And I ask for a mommy like you.



And I ask for a mommy like you...
