I may look old for my years and these wrinkles on my face
They were put there by my kids I love so dear
They won't listen to what I say and it's turning my hair gray
The kids grow older and hurt me more each year.

When they were little they sat on my knee
I gave them all my love from the start
Now they're too big to sit on my knee
They're stepping all over my heart.

They're my own flesh and blood so no matter what they do
I will love them in a mother's special way
I pray to God each day and night that my kids turn out right
These are heartaches every mother has to pay.

When they were little they sat on my knee
I gave them all my love from the start
Now they're too big to sit on my knee
They're stepping all over my heart.

Oh yes, they're stepping all over my heart…
