B J Thomas Mama Lyrics

Mama Lyrics

Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young 

 And knew just when to come and see what you had done? 

 Mama, oh Mama 

 And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry 

 'cause he was too big for you to try? 

 Mama, Ma-a-ma 

  

 And who's the one you didn't need to plead 

 To give her time to the Little League? 

 It was Mama, oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a 

 And who's the one who gave her shoulder 

 When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older 

 Mama, Mama 

  

 It was Mama, my ma-a-a-ma-a-a 

 Ma-a-ma, oh ma-a-ma 

  

 Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation? 

 Mama, Mama 

 And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known 

 A home away from home when they were tired and all alone? 

 Mama, Mama 

  

 And who's the one who held a tear inside 

 When you introduced your future bride? 

 And who's the one who didn't mean to cry 

 As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile 

 Mama, oh, Mama 

 Ma-a-m-a-a, my Ma-a-ma-a 

 It was Ma-a-m-a-a
