She used to be my 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 hadBack then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was loveMama, I love you, Mama, I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
You're my friendI 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 responsibilityBack then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was loveMama, I love you, Mama, I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
You're my friend, you're my friendBut now I'm sure I know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is loveMama, 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
You're my friend, you're my friendOoh, my Mama my love
Ooh, my Mama my loveIn love in you, in love in me
And love is true and guaranteed
