If it wasnt for your mothers jam
Nothing else would taste quite the same
She taught me bout the cactus and the bees
Thats what makes the cherries sweet
If it wasnt for your mothers jam
I dont think you and me could be friends
Just when I think that Im getting bored
Thats when she takes it out the cupboard
Ive been watering the bings hangin on the tree
I think they sway up and down for me
I think Ill water them some more cos theyre so thirsty
And when the sun leaves, theyll be ripe for picking
They say all the birds your age are flappin down on pearl
But the bees are making honey for another girl
So lets hang cos I think Ill be just in time
When the bread is rising in the oven, its a sign for
Jam, your mothers jam, your mothers
Jam
If it wasnt for your mothers jam
I dont think I would understand
How to age to perfection
Spread it all over my complexion
And when we all gather round to label the jars
I feel like Im writing miniature love letters
Im getting territorial urges with your dad
Is it wrong that I get off when Im making him mad?
They say all the birds your age are flappin down on pearl
But all the bees are makin honey for another girl
So lets hang out cos Im thinkin Ill be just in time
When the bread is rising in the oven
Its a sign for
Jam, your mothers jam, your mothers
Jam
Is it passe that I dont want any other?
Spread it on buns with my favorite nut butter
Sophisticated is my pallet, like a man
Im such a fan, such a fan, such a fan
