"every girl needs a mother, and damnit i needed you" - kehlani
damn this so deep i love her music
It’s a whole mood..
That's rly deep...
The amazing thing about this song is even though she's singing it as an adult, it brings you back to a child's perspective. It's a very heartfelt way of communicating what a child whose parent has disappeared is probably feeling but cannot yet articulate. Makes you feel for all the abandoned children, makes you want to be a better parent, and makes you believe that even if you don't have parents around you can still make something beautiful of yourself. RESPECT.
BeautifuLife love it yes
rs💯💯
BeautifuLife I agree with this description
Okay bae I’m bout
If you listen carefully you could hear her crying at the end, brings me chills every time I listen
I heard it 😢
Ashley M everytime I hear it chills come
I cry every time.
I can relate to this song 😔
Yeah I mean this song suits my mood almost perfectly rn. . .
"and if you weren't gonna guide me, why bring me into the light?" jeez that got me
Je9wbe9 eie
Oe did do
Beos solid diidndud didndu d8d b jd doodles o so
the emotion she poured into this song. goddamn. gives me chills.
She gives me feels. She gives me chills. She's so deep and ugh....I've never felt this way. She's so underrated tbh
That's how I feel about her and her music
that's how feel about spodee
Sue Moyo lolkp
Huhjjjjj
Sue Moyo absolutely correct
When She Cried At The End. Yo I've Never Heard A Song With So Much Soul.
right tho
yes
Kaila Jai look up "How could you leave us" by NF it's about his mom committing suicide
Cody Wilson truest song ever. It came from his heart
Kaila Jai her and idina just makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out
This song speaks to me so much. I've always had trouble connecting with my mother on an emotional level and felt like I was never good enough in her eyes. I've always had trouble with hanging with her, talking with her, it would always end in shouting and yelling. Sometimes she would even choose her friends over me. But I've come to realize its not my fault. I'm doing the best that I can to be her kid... still, this song made me cry. Great work kehlani.
Know exactly how you feel.. i for sure feel left out in class wen everyone goes on about how important having a mom is and growing up with one..
GirlsOfAqua as a kid I never got to see my mom or dad as a kid It was painful to not see them there but there in a better place now my sisters an I don't get along either so I'm alone in this world but I have one person who was there by my side the whlole time he was by you to god got me thought it all
Your not alone you have to be strong in your word an in God's
Same prob still :/
i get u alot
sometimes
This song made me cry my eyes out!! My mom was a drug addict and my grandma raised me and I felt it was my fault and that I was unwanted.
it's never your fault
You couldn't control that so don't even for a second think it's your fault.
+Kalena Shaw i feel the same way its just my momma wasent on drugs and i live with my grandma i feel like im unwanted
I'm sorry, ur always wanted even when it feels like ur lonely
Same
I didn't know how much the absence of my real mother affected me until I heard this song for the first time. when she said every girl needs a mother I couldn't stop crying. I'm grateful for the women who is my mom now but still can't help but feel hurt.
Mononoke I was adopted at 6 months. My mother now is an angel sent to care for me and my biological sisters. I can't help but feel guilt and fault when I look in the mirror and see my mother in my face. I am healing this song hits deeps within me it resonates with the emptiness I felt for so long. I've decided to fill this space with compassion and love even for my biological parents who left us all stranded.
Omg saaaame😭
Although I can't really relate to the song but I still cried. The emotion you can feel through her song is just heartbreaking. I can only imagine what she has been through and the song tells it all.
Yeah me too
Same. It's like, something I can connect to my life. It's not something that I can 100% connect to, but my feelings are still there when I listen to this song.
same!!
JHOPE!!!!!!
Emprêśš Śhëñíå me too
The first time my 6 year old sister, cried the moment she heard his song. Her birth mother, left her when she was 3 & she was left heart broken. Even though our family adopted her & my mom became her mom, she still felt that emptiness of her real mother. Her hearing this song, made her feel all those feelings, and she told me she didn't know that people went through the same thing she did. Kehlani, although you may not read this, I hope you realize how much your music effects all hearts, even little ones. We thank you for your music! Much love, From AZ
Marleey bruuh poor girl
lol
Show less
Honestly even as a 28 year old woman I never imagined somebody else could be feeling the exact things I have all my life ... I hope your little sis finds peace and gets all the love she deserves ❤
me and her are literally in the same boat
How can anyone dislike this song. BEAUTIFUL & RAW EMOTION.
maybe they hate to feel sad and emotional
When you realize it's not about a guy... *Heart broke apart in a second*
MaevaD i thought it was intill the end
@MaevaD IKR it was a big twist. It just made the song more beautiful and i love it even more
MaevaD when you realize its about her mother...
Damn, I'm in my 30's. Went thru the same thing. This little girl is so relatable to me. I'm gonna keep my eye on her career. What a talent.
Gets me everytime
Anybody else make a sad ass music video in they head?
omfg saame
yesss
lmao yes
Yes I imagine it starting with her as a baby in the hospital and it going through the years intercut with her singing in a dark room with a buzzing light behind her & towards the end it's her now (portrayed by someone else) meeting their mom and hugging her
I always do this, thought I was the only one
This song just reminds me of how much respect i lost for my own mother. If you had no intentions in taking care of me & being there for me .. should have never had me, smh.
honey I am right with you, momless and it hurts.
Me too , its fucking hard .
Deef
Yea I feel ya
I cry every time I hear this song. I have felt all these emotions before and it hurts listening to this song😞 but I love this song so so much.
LYRICS
I can hear your laugh
It's ringing through the hallways
I can see your smile
It's what gets me through my hard days
And your words was suppose to get me through my heartache, before my heartbreak
There's an emptiness that only few ever fill
And I somehow missed the meaning of love that is real
And it compliments my scars that will never heal
[Chorus:]
Maybe I didn't deserve you
Maybe I just couldn't cure you
They told me that I didn't hurt you
Why do I feel like I turned you?
Maybe I don't understand it
Tell me is this how you planned it?
Did you see us so stranded
Maybe I'm too much to manage
[Verse 2:]
And if you weren't gonna guide me
Why bring me into the light?
Must have done something to make you want to run and hide
Why oh why didn't you just live your life?
And every girl needs a mother
And damn it I needed you
Instead you duck for cover
And you ran from the truth
And like kids do
You waited around for proof
[Chorus]
Maybe I didn't deserve you...
awesome
thanks💓
+Abby Sampson thanks
Deja Lewis You're welcome
Thank youuu
Her mother lost out on an amazing daughter her aunt did a great job raising her 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I clicked on this song expecting something else but this hit me. Right in my heart! I could relate to this song.. I'm crying and all I could say is I love this song! Thank you. Your work is amazing!
it's so surreal how this song speaks exactly how I feel and what I went through with my own mom! I'm not seeking sympathy but simply acknowledging the fact that this is the type of music that is filled with so much soul, so much emotion and so real that people like me are able to listen to it and feel like it was written from their own heart! there is not a time when I don't cry while listening to this song. Thank you so much Kehlani .. for expressing something that I could never have been able to put into words.
I can't stop crying. This is so deep.
This is so well written. Brought tears to my eyes.
Ashanti Bragg nah it made tears come out my eyes
True lol
When you realize it’s not about any type of relationship. And she is pouring her heart into this song makes me cry. 🥺
This Song Hit Me Hard Fr It Reminds Me When My Mother Put Me Up For Adoption And This Song Reminded Me Of Her And I Cried For 2 Hours Maybe I'm Just Too Much To Manage.....😔😔😔😪
sorry to hear tht
I'm so sorry that happened. But just know, you are beautiful, and wonderful, and didn't deserve that.
im so sorry hun your beautiful and God has beautiful plans for you God Bless
aww
why did she do that your beautiful
I love you so much Kehlani, you don't know how much I need, how much your fans need you, we all love you know matter what, we will always be here for you to lean on when you need some support and to lift you up, stay strong baby I love you #StayStrongKehlani
This made me cry, seriously. It really hits home
Everyone is commenting how this song helps them. Well, my mom abandoned me when I was 7. I never understood why she left me and my brother but when I got older the people I lived with told me she was a drug addict. I'm 16 now and 2 years ago she came back and she was "better" and she brought home another kid. 9 months ago she went back on drugs and left my little sister behind. This song hurts me so bad because it hits so close to home. I'm not trying to get people to feel bad for me because me and her don't have a relationship anymore. I hope to be a better mother than she ever was.
don't worry you will be okay. just be strong and always keep a strong bond with your sister and brother no matter what. keep your head up
I can hear your laugh ,
Its ringing through the hallways ,
I can see your smile ,
Its what gets me through my hard days ,
And your words,
Were supposed to get me through my heartache ,
Before my heart breaks ,
There's an emptiness ,
That only few ever feel ,
And i somehow miss ,
The meaning of love that is real ,
And it complements ,
My scars that will never heal ,
Maybe i didn't deserve you ,
Maybe i just couldn't cure you ,
They told me that i didn't hurt you ,
Why do i feel like i turned you ,
Maybe i don't understand it ,
Tell me is this how you planned it ,
Did you see us so stranded ,
Maybe i'm too much to manage ,
And if you weren't gonna guide me ,
Why bring me into the light ,
Must have done something ,
To make you want to run and hide ,
Why oh why ,
Didn't you just live your life ,
And every girl needs a mother ,
And damn it i need you ,
Instead you dug from cover ,
And you ran from the truth ,
And like kids do ,
You waited around for proof ,
Maybe i didn't deserve you ,
And maybe i just couldn't cure you ,
They told me that i didn't hurt you ,
Why do i feel like i turned you ,
Maybe i don't understand it ,
Tell me is this how you planned it ,
DO you see us so stranded ,
Maybe i'm too much to manage ,
Maybe i didn't deserve you ,
huh...GAYYYYYYYY
@@piersellis69 ? How 🤔
This song hits home for me and speaks to me in so many ways. Honestly the first song that actually speaks to me about how I've been feeling my whole life thank you ❤️
"But dammit I needed you" made me think of my father shit.
same
Smh me too*
+GG_GG True I Started Crying
same
me too tho , man , i cried
I feel soo late but I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing everything she describes in this song...when I'm a mom I will be the mom I never had.
yes Girl !
Shallah Leeks you go girl!!!
I'm making a pretty ugly face right now trying to stop the tears. This song hit a place real deep within me and pulled a couple of heartstrings. The lyrics and your voice are absolutely beautiful.
Thanks to BTS for bringing me her. I found a new artist to be a fan of.
Tigress Lancaster I swear army are every where !
@@mendeihuynh1773 as they should be hehe!!
"and if you weren't going to guide me why bring me into the light" that got me teary I can't relate to this song on that level but for Kehlani to put these emotions into her music shows how successful she's going to be
She deserves so much more recognition. This song is so so so undeniably sad. I know how she feels; even though you know deep down that it was never your fault as to why she left you, it always play on your mind that it was somewhat your fault. That you were a mistake..
GOD. I LOVED THIS SONG SO MUCH.
Dammit! When she started crying at the end...we need more people like her.
im so glad Andrea Russett showed me this song. This song speaks to me so clearly! i love Kehlani and this song.
I think of my father every time. Every girl needs her father.
Same 😔
mood
same. I feel like its my fault he is gone..
Same
I thought I was the only who meant this for their father... At least I'm not the only one😢😢
Of all of Kehlani's songs, this one is my favorite. It's so emotional, personal and intimate. I get teary eyed every time I hear it.
She's so versatile. it's amazing
I just love her so much. Love her husky voice. love everything about her! Can't wait for her to get big and get everything she deserves.
My family is broken and every time i listen to this song, i cry. I relate to this too much and when ever anything bad happens to us, i blame myself for it.
Learning to be Kind to oneself is something some people learning quiet natural, without problems through a good family. Others have to learn it by themself and it seems sometimes like a sisyphus task. I hope you find this self love and the kindness in you heart to not treat yourself this hard. As a mother or father we do as good as we can, with our own "bases".
It has been five years, but please feel huged mentally 💙🌻
This song makes me cry every time, the emotions poured into. Not having a mother growing up because she didn't want me and left me and my dad and brothers alone hurts ... every girl needs a mother and damn it I needed you... I needed my mother but she wasn't there
This song broke my heart into a million pieces.. Couldn't hold back the tears at the end
Tears . hit home way too hard yo .
This song, I sent too my mom. She said it was a sad song and sorry I felt like this. She lost me as a child but never fought and it kills me too this day.
once you relate this to a parent abandoning you it has a different meaning... I understand what she went through was different, but it is relevant in a sense. I pray for all of us to carry the strength of that abandonment and turn it into to hope and motivation to become the people we have been exhibited not to become. were better than that, and hate and resentment won't heal our hearts. I no longer feel hurt hearing this song, I became the person i am with or without whoever left me.
In short words. Kehlani, I found your song, " The Way'", randomly so I thought... Then when I needed to let all these feelings of hurt you, this song came up,. Thank you for opening those wounds, and writing about it. I know how much it hurt and burned you to write this, cause when I sang it and I sung with you, I had never hear your song before, but I sang through it like I wrote it, and with tears in my eyes, I sang my heart out.... My Mom hasn't passed away, she just wasn't a part of my life, I can't say that I am the woman I am today because of her, but I can say that she taught me what NOT to do when I become a Mother. Cause as your words say, " Every girl needs her mother, and damn it, I needed her too ".....
nahhhh it was when I heard the tears in her voice at the end that my heart started to crack
This song always reminds me of my mother... On how she left me, my siblings and my dad for some other guy..... I just hope she won't regret her decision. It just sucks growing up without a mother.
Louise Marcon I get how u feel. my mom left me at 6 weeks old. I'm her fourth out of 9 . she only has 3 of us. She always texts my phone and tells me how I should kill myself n stuff so....I hope she doesn't go thru anything as hurtful as that
Zhané diaz Omg don't listen to that😭❤️
Louise Marcon Same😔😖😢😢😭😠
Zhané diaz nobody deserves to be treated that way, ever! 😔. Stay strong pretty girl. You'll get through this💪🏻 Just keep going and aim for a better life.
#L gang I just don't get why some parents do that to their kids 😑
"And every girls needs a mother.. and DAMMIT I need you."
I loved that boy so much.. My first true love.. I would've died for that boy. He didn't feel the same though...
Andrea Michéle thank you :')
omg so right!!!
Yooooo that just happened to me rn ! My first ever love and he brought me down like in nothing ):
I feel youu
wow
I heard this song on the bus on the way to school and started crying, it's so beautiful and it resonates with me because I lost my mom as well although not in the same way she did.
Hits so close to home love this love you love love love
im speechless. i love you kehlani, stay strong shawty
My Mom was never around. She kept making promises that she couldnt keep and left my sister and I hanging. I havent seen her for over a year and I just want to thank you for this song. Not only the words but the silence. I dont know how I am supposed to live this way forever but people like you keep me going. I have things to look forward to and life can and will go on with or without her. Thank you, wavy baby!
Every time I listen to this song I think of my boyfriend. He's the one who has helped me through my depression. Thank God he's with me because without him....I don't think I would be here......
❤️❤️❤️
+Fullmetal Joey aww
This song makes me cry. I love Kehlani so much. She's been through a lot. She's the best mom ever!!!
I re-discovered this song today and i wanted to thank kehlani for this, it helped me through so much last year, i was depressed and suicidal and tried to talk to my mother about it because i had no one else, but she was always busy with my Father whose never around or with my four other brothers, so she never really had time for me, i felt like out of everyone, kehlani understood how i felt, alone, hurt and angry, because i needed my mother but i was never important enough to her , as much as i try/ied to be good enough for her or to make her and my dad proud i remain a disappointment.
This song is always on repeat for me
I love her so much this is one of my favorites 💘💯
Bwuwbwuwnw
I eie eioownwiwneiebe8ene enenennene bzwbq8
I cant really relate to the mother situation but I can relate this song to my father. This song made me think of my father n how he is not there for me when I needed him the most. Listening to this song made me cry this song is a very emotional song Kehlani is a beautiful talented girl and I want to see her career go to the next level.
Khalani is an inspiration to me.... I just broke down listening to this song. My dad passed and l never really knew the truth and why he didn't wanna know me for almost 16 yrs. So every time my mom said something about him even before he passed I'd deny him being my father and my love for him. But I realized I did love him he is my father and I needed him. And because he wasn't and isn't here now I will and have failed tremendously with relationships. Because I have no man to guide me.
Thank you khalani
I love you
I love this song my heart goes out to anyone that didn't have their biological parents especially their mother
5 years ago and still listening in 2021...
"And if you weren't going to guide me, why bring me into the light" I cry every time. I miss my mother so much!!!
this song gets me in my feelings about my dad 😢😔
.....maybe I didn't deserve you... tell me is this how you planned it?.....maybe I'm too much to manage💔
Damnnnnn she's so unique. Absolutely never been so awed by a voice. Nice to realize there's good music in this generation.
This is literally the best song I've ever heard.. Thank you so much for this Kehlani. It's like you're inside my mind with this one
And now she is a great mom so proud of her💜
I can relate to this song. It's feel like she read me or everybody who going through some tough time like personal thing: family issues or financial problems, and difficult relationships. I am so emotional person. This song waking me up
I'm crying I can't this is so deep
This woman needs more recognition
damn this got me so emotional, swear to God this deserves more views. brilliant song and brilliant voice that's all I have to say.
This song has captured my heart Especially since its not about a guy..... Its more than that
I’ve heard this song and grown to understand it and now i cry about it because now i realize it’s pain and sorrow behind it.
I've gotta say, I've been with kehlani for a couple years and this.... this song alone is quite possibly the best, most emotional, honest and heartfelt content we've ever gotten from her. Not only can you hear her soul, you can feel it.
My daughter came and hugged me while I cried to this song it was my first time hearing it but before she ever said mother I felt every inch of pain and was already thinking about my mother she’s alive but I’ve had to grieve her year after year
Such a phenomenal song... And although my mom and I's relationship has improved over the years, it was not always like that. So I can definitely relate.
I'm new to you in general as well as your music, I'm glad I took a listen. I think I have listened to every song so far, both mixtapes, and I love them!!! 😊😊
reminds me of how my mother left me for her drugs "every girl needs a mother, and damnit i needed you"
Claudia C this hit me deep in my soul .
All i can say is i understand!
this hit me because the same thing happened for me,,
she was crying omg💔
I'd been avoiding listening to her for a while
I'm crying now..
I swear that this Girl never produces a bad song
How can give this a thumbs down this is so beautiful 😩🙌
I can hear your laugh
It's ringing through the hallways
I can see your smile
It's what gets me through my hard days
And your words was suppose to get me through my heartache, before my heartbreak
There's an emptiness that only few ever feel
And I somehow missed the meaning of love that is real
And it compliments my scars that will never heal
[Chorus:]
Maybe I didn't deserve you
Maybe I just couldn't cure you
They told me that I didn't hurt you
Why do I feel like I turned you?
Maybe I don't understand it
Tell me is this how you planned it?
Did you see us so stranded
Maybe I'm too much to manage
[Verse 2:]
And if you weren't gonna guide me
Why bring me into the light?
Must have done something to make you want to run and hide
Why oh why didn't you just live your life?
And every girl needs a mother
And damn it I needed you
Instead you duck for cover
And you ran from the truth
And like kids do
You waited around for proof
[Chorus]
Maybe I didn't deserve you...
Kehlani your one strong person. You can hear it in the way you sing. Hearing this hearing you being real and crying had me in tears. We all go through things in life. I know I'm not alone
it's crazy when u listen to a song and realise that u can relate to the artist.... and then u know ur not alone... ur not the only one.... i love kehlani and how real she is...just hope she doesn't change.... cuz i can relate to her so much
Her crying at the end really breaks my heart, I wish I could give her a hug and a pure smile
when you read the comments and realize the song was about her mother and it makes the song that much deeper
It really Does
@Bella H right lol
I still break down and cry every time i listen to this song... just the absence of my birth mother not being in my life. “ every girl needs a mother and damn it i needed you” 😔
I can feel this song so much I cry everytime. Me and kehlani are basically going through the same thing. My mom has a drug addiction and I was taken away from her...I think about her all the time. I don't know what happened. Was it something I did, to make her change? I just don't understand. I don't even know where she is, she doesn't keep in touch, and I haven't seen her at all. She just went ghost. Kehlani is the only role model I have. She snaps me into reality...letting me know to just let God do God, fall back and enjoy the ride
I feel bad for you but you will be in my prayers
chills this is one of the most beautiful songs i ever heard
i just dont get how this song got so many dislikes, someone please enlighten me on why u dont like it, its a beautiful song, masterfully written and everything just goes together perfectly, one of those rare peftect songs
"Maybe I didn't deserve you" 😔😞
This song gets me in my feelings every mf time 😭😭😭
kehlani, j cole and jhene aiko are my top 3 artists rn. such deep meanings being their music. beautifully written and perfectly performed. haven't found a song i dont like from any of them.
This reminds me so much of my father. he was my best friend, and God knws i didnt deserve him but he gave him to me anyway. An amazing father and supporter 😔😔😔
I love this
was?
Yea he passed away a few yrs ago
I'm tears right now 😭 I love this album so much
I legit started tearing up at the end. Ugh, I'm so glad I was introduced to her
