Mama

She used to be my only enemy and never let to me be 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

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

You're my friend

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

And loving you and loving me

And love that's true and guaranteed
