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
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
My friend

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
My friend

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

Ohhh, (you're my friend)
Mama my love (you're my friend)

Ohhh, mama my love

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

Me loving you, you loving me
A love that's true and guaranteed

Me loving you, me loving you
You loving me, you loving me
A love that's true, a love that's true
And guaranteed, so true
