A little girl's party
Kids treated her like she was strange
So she decided to make a change
She told 'em all--to just call her Marti
Verse 2
She could've showed 'em all and
Showed 'em up
When she became so becoming,
But she didn't care about that stuff
Maybe the teasing made her tender-hearted
Weak in health, strong in faith,
Kept a song in her heart and a smile
On her face
I call her Mom, some call her Marti
Chorus
She carried me into this world
And I would not have traded with
Any other girl
