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 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
You're 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 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
You're my friend
But now I'm sure
I 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
Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend

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