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 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 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
You're 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 I can give you is 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
You're my friend, you're my friend

Ohh, my Mama my love
Ohh, my Mama my love

In love in you, in love in me
And love is true and guaranteed
