Mama don't cry
I don't know why I said those things to you last night
Go on wipe tear from your eye it's hard to explain
But I'm gonna try, 'cause
It's my way and my life you gave me
But I'm not exactly how you raised me
Mama it ain't so bad
Though it might seem to you that I'm confused from the view that you have
Mama don't be so sad
You know I love you and that is true
That's why I wrote this mama song for you
Sometimes I draw the line
A little outside the straight and fine
It's just the way I live my life, I hope you don't think it's out of spite, 'cause
It's my way and my life you gave me
But I'm not exactly how you raised me
Mama it ain't so bad
Though it might seem to you that I'm confused from the view that you have
Mama don't be so sad
You know I love you and that is true
That's why I wrote this mama song for you
