Mama

Mama

(Chorus)
My Mama, you're the most beautiful woman in the land
God created woman to be the strength of men

The wise man is not wise without the fool
Nor is the master without the servant
That's the way God made the world
The fool is not wise without the wise man
Nor is the servant without the master
And that's the way God made the world
I say Mama, you're beautiful
And that's the truth, because God created woman to be the strength of men

When the snake sheds its skin to become a snake, it's still a snake
If a leopard changes its spots, it's still a leopard
When the snake sheds its skin to become a snake, it's still a snake
If a leopard changes its spots, it's still a leopard
The hair that covers the head of the righteous man
Is the same hair that covers the head of the thief
When the thief sheds his skin to become a thief, he's still a thief
If a liar changes his words, he's still a liar
But I know that you, you're a good woman
Mama, beautiful woman, you're my queen
(Chorus)

My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you at all times
My lover, I love you, and I want to hold you close all night long
My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you forever
My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you at all times
My lover, I love you, and I want to hold you close all night long
My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you forever

(2x)
If you were to come to me, I would not turn you away
If you were to come to me, I would not turn you away
If you were to come to me, I would not turn you away

My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you forever
My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you forever
My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you forever
My lover, I love you, and I want to be with you forever

(2x)
If you were to come to me, I would not turn you away
If you were to come to me, I would not turn you away
If you were to come to me, I would not turn you away
