I'm a single mum

I'm the one they warn you about,

I'm the one nobody wants

I'm the one nobody wants to be

I'm that stigmatised woman you see on tv 

I'm a single mum

I'm the one that wipes the noses, the bums and the tears

I'm the one that calms them though all their night time fears

I'm the thankless lost cause, the warning story

I'm a single mum

I don't come on a silver platter

I'm no glittering prize

I have baggage, not much time off and a wanker (passive aggressive) cunt for an ex

No wonder all the men say they're only interested in.... (Sex?)

...one thing

Fun? FUN?!!

I don't even think I know what that is anymore

The second I drop my guard or go "off duty" 

Somebody has to knock me down again.

See, I'm the one they warn you about,

I'm the one nobody wants to be

I'm the one nobody wants

Because of my heartbreaking journey around the block

I'm a single mum.
