Mama

She used to be my only enemy and never let me free
Catching me in places that I know 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

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

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

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