My mother oh my mother

My mother oh my mother, I have let you down, for you seek perfection, and with me that is not found. Oh mother oh my mother, how I wish I could serve, but everytime I try, I seem to hit a nerve. Oh mother oh my mother, I am not a perfect girl, yes, that of which it is true, I am not your pearl. Oh mother oh my mother, I have let you down, for you seek perfection, and with me that is not found.
