She used to be my only enemy
And then I let her make me 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 that friend I'd 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, oh 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 you 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
