had done mama oh mama who's the one who bashed your eye and told you not to cry because he was
too big for you to try mama my mama who's the one you didn't need to please to give her time to the
little me it was mama oh mama and who's the one who gave a shoulder when you told her your first
love was over

who's the one who taught you obligation dedication resulting graduation mama
oh mama and who's the one who's shown the friends you've known a home away from home when they were

who didn't cry as you walked down the aisle through tears she saw a smile mama
