She used to be my only enemy
And never let me be 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
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
why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
all that 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
You're my friend. 2x oohhoohh my love
