Like My Mother Does - American Idol Performance

People always say I have a laugh
 Like my mother does
 Guess that makes sense
 She taught me how to smile when things get rough
 I've got her spirit
 And she's always got my back
 When I look at her
 I think I wanna be just like that
 When I love, I give it all I got
 Like my mother does
 When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
 Like my mother does
 When I feel weak and unpretty
 I know I'm beautiful and strong
 Because, I see myself
 Like my mother does
 I never met a stranger
 I can talk to anyone
 Like my mother does
 I let my temper fly
 But she can walk away, when she's had enough
 She sees everybody, for who they really are
 I'm so thankful for her guidance
 She's helped me get this far
 When I love, I give it all I got
 Like my mother does
 And when I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
 Like my mother does
 When I feel weak and unpretty
 I know I'm beautiful and strong
 Because, I see myself
 Like my mother does
 She's a rock
 She is grace
 She's an angel
 She's my heart and soul
 She does it all
 When I love, I give it all I got
 Like my mother does
 And when I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
 Like my mother does
 When I feel weak and unpretty
 I know I'm beautiful and strong
 Because, I see myself
 Like my mother does
 Like my mother does
 I hear people saying
 I'm starting to look
 Like my mother does
