Reba...NO Opinions????

Does anyone watch that show? i love the song it reminds me so much of my mom about being a single mother...and shes def a survivor after all she been through i was thinking of maybe dancing with her to this song....cause obv she was a single mom who raised 2 kids with lil help from father but after looking at lyrics dont think its good what do you think??



I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on livin'
Even if this love's to die for
'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'
You're walkin' out and I'm not trying
To change your mind 'cause I was born to be

Chorus:
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up, but she's just
Too hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self-pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changin' fast
Who I am is who I wanna be

Repeat Chorus

A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

I love 'Reba'! Everyone looks at me when I'm nuts, though, when I tell them so I usually just keep it to myself. Anyway, the part they play as the theme song to the show starts with the 'My roots are planted in the past' line, and from then on, it would be nice to dance with your mom to. But the first verse appears to be about how Reba's no-good boyfriend/husband left her, and how she's strong enough to take it because she's been a fighter since she was a baby. Nice message, but I don't know how much you'd want that at your wedding.

So... could you have your DJ fade it in at the appropriate part? If there's a bridge or something before it, it might sound okay and people would think it's just a short song? I've never heard the whole song so I don't know.

In any case, it's a lovely idea that you want to do this with your mom, and everyone will love and appreciate the gesture no matter what song you choose.

I like that show. I watch the reruns alot. The song is nice but I am not sure that it is a good song to dance to but maybe I would feel different if I heard it.

It seems a bit too fast to me to dance with your mom.

Doesn't seem right to me. I would pick a song more involved with your mom. Do you have a favorite song that you both love, or a song your mom used to sing to you? The Reba song sounds more like a woman's survival song.
