Mama (Lyrics):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


She used to be my only 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Back then I didn’t know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend, you’re my friend<\/p>\n\n\n\n


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 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend, you’re my friend<\/p>\n\n\n\n


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, is love<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mama, I love you
Mama, I care, mama
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend, you’re my friend
Mama, I love you
Mama, I care, mama
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend, you’re my friend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
