Mama sometimes I feel inside There's nothing I can say Nothing I can do Could ever match the love you gave You taught me how to live Told me walk before you run And you were always there To pick me up Everytime I'd have a fall And mama I know there's been times When I didn't always understrand By and by we do some growing up And it makes just a little more sense But sometimes it's hard to find the words But I'll do the best that I can Thank you for the love mama It's what made this boy a man I know the road's been long And I know you've seen some rain Makin the best of what we had I never heard you complain When I look in the mirror today Wondering could I be as strong Could I give as much to someone else As you gave to your son And mama I know there's been times When we didn't see eye to eye By and by we do some growing up And we understand the reasons why But sometimes it's hard to find the words But I'll do the best that I can Thank you for the love mama It's what made this boy a man, yea Many years have gone by And I've been living them The best I can Mama I know there's been times When I didn't always understand By and by we do some growing up And it makes just a little more sense But sometimes it's hard to find the words But I'll do the best that I can Thank you for the love mama It's what made this boy a man
