I'll Always Love My Mama
The Intruders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 elses 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
She's one of a kind
Talking 'bout mama
You've got your yours, and I've got mine
Talking 'bout mama
Oh, hey mama, hey mama, my heart belongs to you
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
A mother's love is 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 "Say Hello and Thank you, please"
While scrubbing those floors on her bended knees
Talking 'bout mama
She's one of a kind
Talking 'bout mama
You've got your yours and I've got mine
Talking 'bout mama
Oh, hey mama, hey mama, my heart belongs to you
I'll always love my mama
She's my favorite girl
You only get one, you only get one
I'll always love my mama
She brought me in this world
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
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
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama
I'll always love my mama

This song played on the radio when I took my mom to her first chemo treatment. I told her, “What a fitting song!” And responded back, “And I’ll always love my baby boy!” She’s been gone for a whole year tomorrow. I sure do miss her and love her. And I always will! ❤
