Capo 1
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
She used to be my only enemy and never letting me be free
Catching me in places that I know I shouldnt be
Every other day I cross the line I didnt mean to be so bad
I never thought that you would become the friend I never had
[Pre-Chorus]
Back then I didnt know why, why you were misunderstood (Mama)
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
[Chorus]
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend (You're my friend)
[Verse 2]
I didnt want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you've 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Back then I didnt know why, why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
[Chorus]
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
(You're my friend, you're my friend)
[Bridge]
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 (All I can give you is love)
[Chorus]
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
[Chorus]
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
(You're my friend, you're my friend)
[Chorus] (repeat to fade)
Mama I love you, Mama I care
(I'm loving you, you're loving me, a love that's true, and guaranteed)
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
(I'm loving you, you're loving me, a love that's true, and guaranteed)
Mama I love you, Mama I care
(I'm loving you, you're loving me, a love that's true, and guaranteed)
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
(I'm loving you, you're loving me, a love that's true, and guaranteed)
