Lyrics:

Hello, it’s me.
I would love to grab a glass of wine and maybe a grilled cheese;
but I got kids I have to feed.
I got one in volleyball and one who’s comin’ home with D’s.

Why can’t she get this fraction business?
I can’t take it anymore.

Hello from the Motherside!
I must have tried a thousand times
to tell her this homework is really breaking my heart;
but when I try it clearly doesn’t tear her apart anymore.

Hello, Mama. How you been?
I can tell you’ve been stress eatin’ from the Cheetos on your hand.
It’s ok, you need a win.
You’ve been plucking facial whiskers and your thighs touch skin to skin.

I know you feel it, hope you’re not pregnant
You can’t take it anymore!

Hello from the Motherside!
I think I might breakdown and cry.
Cause’ I love my children, but I can’t take anymore
Can somebody pass me the Pinot Noir

Hello from the Motherside!
At least I’ve tried a thousand times
To tell ya’ll I’m tired from everything that I’ve done
But when I try nobody seems to respond anymore.

Hello to all mothers!!! we are the glue that keeps the family together. MOM'S

[jessharris]

I love this song I swear I've listened to it 30 times

[momsixsons]

I can sure relate having been a single mother who raised six sons. This actually brought tears to my eyes.

[murillomania]

I love my children but I don't want anymore. EXACTLY! This is PERFECTION!

[texaschel]

"Why can't she get this fraction business". Love this!

[justanotherandy]

i can only imagine this is how motherhood is like.

[nitaandrews]

glad to know i'm not the only one that goes crazy sometimes

[soulbrothanumbahone]

SUPER awesome! This is the reason why those supposed "Real Housewives of...." make me so mad. That crappy TV is the exact opposite of the life of a REAL housewife which is far from glamorous. Keep up the good work and don't ever give up!

God Bless You!!!

[carolearle]

Oh My Goodness! This was my life raising my children. This was great!

[marianburns]

Nailed it.  Reminds me of my daughter.

[collin_ph]

Seriously, great vocals.. couldn't even listen to the words for thinking-- Dang-- she's good!

[denalie]

I must of watched this a tiiiimes! To smack the button !

[sonyaware]

she is my favorite singer keep up the great work your the bomb

[morbid.]

that was surprisingly good singing... I wasn't expecting that

[cynthiahobson]

As a mother of two, I can really relate to this song. Yes, the hypertension-inducing homework (algebra/7th grade, in our case). Yes, the lurking fear that personal hygiene and grooming are falling by the wayside. My kids are at the stage when they need rides and money on a frequent basis - it can get rather hectic. Oh, and there's also this little thing called a job where they expect me to show up several hours a day and do stuff. Somehow that has to be neatly folded into the whole arrangement - piece of cake, right? Very funny song - thanks for making me smile!

[MaryCummins]

Wonderful! Amazing! I was starting to hate Adele's song because it's on the radio twice an hour but I LOVE your version :-D

[LitteRedWarrior]

I want this to go on iTunes! I love this version more than the original! Lol

[SPWood]

Emily, I don't know which is better -- the genius of the lines or your voice. Impressive. BTW, your video is a real hit with teachers. My bride teaches kindergarten and everyone in the district talks about it.

[thorpefamo]

her voice does a great job of hitting every note! I'm impressed. Very good job :)

[GIguy]

Oh so true (I'm a dad, but same responsibilities that make you want to pull out all your hair by the roots...I'm bald now 😱)
