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 of 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 got yours, and I got mine
(Talking 'bout mama)
Ah, 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
Hmm, a mother's love's so special
It's something that 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 got yours, and I got mine
(Talking 'bout mama)
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 brought me in this world
Hmmm, 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)
While hanging on to me
(I'll always love my mama)
Used to get up in ropes of time
(I'll always love my mama)
Oh, mama
(I'll always love my mama)
Yeah, sweet old mama
(I'll always love my mama)
Tell you, I love you, I love you, I love you
(I'll always love my mama)
Yeah, yeah
Hey Phil!
What?
Do you know we used to gang war, baby
Gee man, was we crazy?
Yeah, but man sitting in that younger fella's during science
You know digging that wine, women, schoolyard days
Yeah
We had to take you home, man
You were out of it many, many, days
Oh, every day
Hey but, hey man, listen
Remember ah, the run around man
Steal the hub caps off the cars
What you talking 'bout
And the batteries
We're lucky we didn't get busted man
Dare say
And I say now here come the fuzz
Hey bro. What color is you coming at me?
The tender-line
Oh baby
Oh baby
But, dig this here
Now see when all that gang warring was going on
I'll tell you one thing I won't ever forget
Yeah, what's that?
You see, when I got home
The first thing I would hear is
What?
Damn! Where you been, boy?
That's my mama talking
I said, I was with Sonny Bird
You know Sonny
Wouldn't hold up
Had to put it on somebody
Hey, Phil
What your mama say?
She said, boy, now I want to tell you
What?
You know your getting big now
Yeah
You gotta watch the things that you doing out on that street
That's right, you go to jail
That's right, that's right
And I'm gonna tell you something man
Mama wasn't wrong
No!
Now, what about pop?
We ain't talking about pop
Now pop he was alright
He wasn't a bad thing
Pop was hanging out, you know
I think pop was drinking more wine
Than we used to (laughing)
I know my papa is
Yeah
My papa would hang right along with you, boy
Yeah, stay out all night
Come home, clothes all wrinkled up
And lip floss all over him
Yeah (laughing)
Hey, Sonny
I got a good mind to get them
Good old home made biscuits, baby
Disagree?
Oh, man!
Oh, your mama sure can cook
I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
I'll always love my mama
She brought me in this world
(I'll always love my mama)
Sonny, I love your mama

Remember those good old days
Yeah, yeah
Mama, mama, mama, mama
You know I love you mama
