Mama

Mama

She used to be my only enemy
And never let me free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
Every other day I crossed the line
I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love

Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend
You're my friend

I didn't want to hear it then
But I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about
About the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love

Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend
You're my friend
You're my friend

But now I'm sure I know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love (all I can give you is love)

Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend

Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend
You're my friend (oh, mama, my love)
You're my friend

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Mama, my love)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Mama, I love you (and loving you and loving me)
Mama, I care (and love that's true and guaranteed)
Mama, I love you (and loving you and loving me, you loving me)
Mama, my friend (and love that's true and guaranteed, so true)

Mama, I love you (and loving you and loving me, you loving me)
Mama, I care (and love that's true and guaranteed, so true)
Mama, I love you (and loving you and loving me, you loving me)
Mama, my friend (and love that's true and guaranteed, so true)

Mama, I love you (and loving you and loving me, you loving me)
Mama, I care (and love that's true and guaranteed, so true)
Mama, I love you (and loving you and loving me, you loving me)
Mama, my friend (and love that's true and guaranteed, so true)
