A Song for Mama

You taught me everything, and everything you've given me

I always keep it inside

You're the driving force in my life

Yeah

There isn't anything or anyone that I can be

And it just wouldn't feel right

If I didn't have you by my side

Oh

You were there for me to love and care for me

When skies were gray

Whenever I was down you were always there

To comfort me

And no one else can be what you have been to me

You will always be

You will always be the girl in my life for all times

Mama

Mama, you know I love you (I love you)

Ooh, you know I love you, Mama

Mama, you're the queen of my heart

Your love is like tears from the stars (Yes, it is)

Mama, I just want you to know

Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Yes, it is, yes, it is, oh

Yes, it is, yes, it is, yes, it is, oh

You're always down for me, have always been around for me

Even when I was bad

You showed me right from my wrongs

Yes, you did

And you took up for me when everyone was downin' me

You always did understand

You gave me strength to go on

There were so many times, looking back, when I was so afraid

And then you come to me and say to me I can face anything

And no one else can do what you've done for me

You'll always be

You will always be the girl in my life

Ooh, oh

Mama

Mama, you know I love you (You know I love you)

(You know I love you) Mama

Mama, you're the queen of my heart (You are)

Your love is like tears from the stars (Your love is like tears from the stars)

Mama, I just want you to know (Mama, I just want you to know)

Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Never gonna go a day without you

Fills me up just thinking about you

I'll never go a day without my mama

Mama, Mama, you know I love you (You know, Mama, you know I love you)

Oh, you know I love you, Mama

Mama, you're the queen of my heart (The queen of my heart)

Your love is like tears from the stars (Said your love, your love is like tears from the stars)

Mama, I just want you to know (Mama, whoa, Mama, Mama, Mama)

Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Oh, yeah

You are the food to my soul

Yes, you are
