Mama

Mama - BJ Thomas

Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young

And knew just when to come and see what you had done

Mama oh mama

And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry

'Cause he was too big for you to try

Mama mama

And who's the one you didn't need to plead

To give her time to the little league

It was mama oh mama

And who's the one who gave her shoulder

When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older

Mama mama

It was mama my mama

Mama oh mama

Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation

Mama mama

And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known

A home away from home when they were tired and all alone

Mama mama

And who's the one who held a tear inside

When you introduced your future bride

And who's the one who didn't mean to cry

As you walked down the aisle the tears you saw her smile

Mama oh mama

Mama my mama

It was mama mama
