She used to be my only enemy and never let me free
Catching me in places that I know 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 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 of time 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 My friend
But now I'm sure I know why
why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
all I can give you is love
Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend My friend
Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend
