Momma Knew Love



By Anthony Hamilton

Mama Knew Love 

by Anthony Hamilton 



Verse I 

I know you love me 

I can tell by the way that you kiss me / tight when you hug me 

Took me to school the very first day 

Gave me a piece of butterscotch / sent me on my way 

I know it's frightening 

I could tell by the pain in your eyes when the rent was late again 

To strong to fold / being on your own / Lord bless her soul....mama knows love




Chorus 

Mama knew love like the back roads 

Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes 

Mom swear you never have to worry again 

Mama knew love like the back streets 

Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet 

Mom swear you never have to worry again 



Verse II 

Up bright and early / scrambled eggs / swellin' in ya legs / bills on the bed


Still you managed to show me a smile 

Then walk to work about two or three miles 

Mom I'm gonna struggle witcha 

I'm gonna help you see the bigger picture 

You gave me something no one could take away 

You made it so easy to say...I love ya mama 



Chorus 

Mama knew love like the back roads 

Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes 

Mom swear you never have to worry again 

Mama knew love like the back streets 

Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet 

Mom swear you never have to worry again...no no no 



Bridge 

Mama knew love / she gave me love 

Crazy love / so much love 

Mama knew love / she gave me love 

Crazy love / so much love 



Chorus 

Repeat 3X 

Ad lib out.......
