Mama

She used to be my only enemy
And never let 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 she would become a friend I'd 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
Oh 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 it 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
Oh my friend
Mama my friend
