Mama

Who's the one who tied you shoe

When you were young

And knew just when to come

And see what you had done?

Mama, oh Mama

And who's the one who patched your eye

And told you not to cry

Cuz he was too big for you to try?

Mama, Mama

And who's the one you didn't need to plead

To give her time to the little league?

It was Mama, oh Mama

And who's the one who gave her shoulder

When you told her your first love was over

She'd met someone older?

Mama, Mama

It was Mama, my Mama

Mama. oh Mama

Who's the one who taught you obligation,

Then dedication, result graduation?

Mama, Mama

And who's the one

Who's shown the friends you've known

A home away from home

When they were tired and all alone?

Mama, Mama

And who's the one who held a tear inside,

When you introduced your future bride?

And who's the one who didn't mean to cry

As you walked down the aisle,

Through tears you saw her smile?

Mama, oh Mama

Mama, my Mama

It was Mama
