Lyrics
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

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood mama
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
You're 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 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

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend
You're my friend
You're my friend

But now I'm sure I know why (I know why)
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love (all I can give you is love)

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend

My friend
Mama my love (you're my friend)
Mama my love

Mama I love you
Mama I care
Mama I love you
Mama my friend

Me loving you (me loving you)
You loving me (you loving me)
A love that's true (a love that's true)
And guaranteed (so true)

Me loving you (me loving you)
You loving me (mama I care) (you loving me)
A love that's true (a love that's true)
And guaranteed (so true)

(Mama I love you) me loving you (me loving you)
You loving me (mama I care) (you loving me)
A love that's true (a love that's true)
And guaranteed (so true)

Mama I love you, me loving you (me loving you)
