[Segue: Verse 1]
Mama's got a problem
She don't know what to say
Her little baby boy
Has just left home today

[Chorus]
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you can always depend
Ooh ooh

[Verse 2]
She washed and fed
And clothed and cared
For nearly twenty years
And all she gets is "goodbye Ma"
And the nighttime's for her tears

[Chorus]
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you can always depend
Ooh ooh, ooh
We hear you talking now

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
So listen, mothers everywhere
To just one mother's son
You'll get forgotten on the way
If you don't let them have their fun
Forget regrets, and just remember
It's not so long since you were young

[Outro]
You're bound to be the loser in the end
You're bound to be the loser in the end
They'll choose their new shoes
That's not far to bend
You're Ma on whom they can always depend
Ooh ooh, ooh

[Instrumental Outro]
