I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
I'll always love my mama

She brought me in this world

Sometimes I feel so bad
When I think of all the things I used to do
How mama used to clean somebody else's house
Just to buy me a new pair shoes

I never understood how mama made it through the week
When she never, ever got a good night's sleep

Talking 'bout mama
Oh, she's one of a kind
Talking 'bout mama
You've got your yours, and I've got mine
Talking 'bout mama
Oh, hey mama, hey mama, my heart belongs to you, oh, yeah

I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
You only get one, you only get one, yeah
I'll always love my mama
She brought me in this world

Mmm, a mother's love is so special
It's something that can't you can't describe
It's the kind of love that stays with you
Until the day you die

She taught me little things
Like saying 'Hello' and 'Thank you, please'
While scrubbing those floors on her bended knees

Talking 'bout mama
Oh, she's one of a kind
Talking 'bout mama
You've got your yours and I've got mine
Talking 'bout mama
Oh, hey mama, hey mama, my heart belongs to you, oh, yeah

I'll always love my mama, yeah
She's my favorite girl
Only get one, you one get one, yeah
I'll always love my mama
She brought me in this world
Mmm, I'm talking 'bout mama
I'll always love my mama
Sweet old mama
I'll always love my mama
Used to scrub the floors
I'll always love my mama
On her hands and knees
I'll always love my mama
Used to get a little rough, sometimes
I'll always love my mama
Poor old mama
I'll always love my mama
Hey, sweet old mama
I'll always love my mama
Said, I love you, I love ya, I love ya, mama
I'll always love my mama
Hey, yeah

Hey, Phil?

Man, was we crazy

We had to take you home, man, you was out of it
Oh, many, various days, lord have mercy

Steal the hubcaps off the cars, you know?

That's it, that's it, ha, yeah, that's mama, mama

What she say?
'You know you gettin' big now'

And, I'm'a tell ya something man, mama wasn't wrong

My pop hung right along with ya boy

Clothes all wrinkled up, lip sauce all over
Hey, Sonny

I'll always love my mama
Say, we all love you mama
