Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll always love my mama, she's my favorite girl (Mmm, yeah)
I'll always love my mama, she bought 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 of shoes
I never understood how mama made it through the week
When she never ever got a good night's sleep
Oh, she's one of a kind
You've got yours and I've got mine
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 bought me in this world
Mmm, a mother's love is so special
It's something that you can't describe
It's the kind of love that stays with ya
Until the day you die
She taught me little things like saying hello and thank you, please
By scrubbing those floors on her bended knees
Oh, she's one of a kind
You've got yours and I've got mine
Oh, hey mama, hey mama
My heart belongs to you, oh yeah
I'll always love my mama (Yeah), she's my favorite girl
(You only get one, you only get one, yeah)
I'll always love my mama, she bought me in this world
Mmm, I'm talking 'bout mama
(I'll always love my mama) My sweet old mama
(I'll always love my mama) Used to scrub the floor
(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) Oh, mama
(I'll always love my mama) Hey, sweet old mama
(I'll always love my mama) Said I love
You, I love you, I love you, mama
(I'll always love my mama) Hey, yeah
Hey Phil
What?
Do you remember when we used to gang-walk, baby?
Man, was we crazy!
Yeah, man, remember when me and that other fella, little Sonny
We was drinkin' that wine, remember that schoolyard days?
Yeah, we had to take you home, man, you were proud of it, man
Oh, man, I bet I did, Lord have mercy
Hey, but listen, remember, uh, when we used to run around
Man, steal the hubcaps off the cars, and everything?
What you talkin' about?
And batteries?
We lucky we ain't get busted, man
Listen, 'cause I say here comes the fuzz
Hey, Byrd, what car was you comin' in, man?
The tenderloin
Oh, man
But dig this here
Now, see, when all that gang-walkin' was goin'
On, I tell you one thing that I never forget
And what's that?
See, when I got home, first thing I would hear is
What?
"Phil, where you been, boy?"
Yeah, that's it, ha, yeah, ha, that's what my mama would say
I say "I was out with Sonny Byrd and little Sonny"
Put it all on us
I had to put it on somebody
Hey, Phil, what your mama say?
She say "Boy, now I'ma tell you, you know you gettin' big now
You gotta watch the things that you doin' out in that street"
And you go to jail
And I'ma tell you somethin', man, mama wasn't wrong
But what about pop?
We ain't talkin' about pop
No, man, pop, he was alright
Pop was hangin' out, you know?
I think pop was drinkin' more wine than we used to
I know my pop did
My pop hung around with you, boy
Stay out all night, come home, clothes
All wrinkled up, lint balls all over 'em
Hey Sonny, I remember when your mama used
To cook them good home-cooked biscuits, man
Oh, man, what your mama cookin'?
Hey, mama, yeah, yeah, we're talkin' 'bout mama, mama
Hey, mom, mom, mom, hey, hey, mama, I love you, mama
Said we all love you, mama
We remember those good old days
Hey, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, talkin' 'bout mama
I said I love you, mama
Said we all love you, mama
