She used to be my only enemy and never let me free,
Catching me in places that I know 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,

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,
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, My friend

But now I'm sure I know why,

Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All I can give you is love,

Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend


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

You're my friend
