Mama
Lunchmoney Lewis Lyrics

When I was hungry, she cooked me something yummy
My mother would always make sure I had food to eat when I was hungry.

And when I was sick, she would take care of me
My mother would take care of me when I was ill.

Fix me up chicken soup, let me stay home from school
My mother would make chicken soup when I was sick and let me stay home from school.

But if I did I couldn't leave the room
However, if I stayed home from school, I had to stay in my room.

'Cause that was the rule
It was a rule that I had to stay in my room when I was sick and stayed home from school.

I could run in a race and come dead last
Even if I didn't win in a race, my mother was always proud of me.

She say: 'that's my baby' and stand up and clap
My mother would always support and cheer for me, even if I didn't win.

She taught me respect and I'm thankful for that
My mother taught me to be respectful and I am grateful for that lesson.

And if I ever fell in love make sure that girl love me back
My mother taught me to make sure that any person I fall in love with loves me back.

Oho, a couple times when I was bad
There were times when I behaved poorly.

Oho, she hauled off and whooped my ass
My mother would punish me when I misbehaved by spanking me.

Oho, but I'm still her biggest fan
Even though my mother would punish me when I misbehaved, I still love and respect her.

Oho, 'cause she made me who I am
My mother's love and lessons helped shape me into the person I am today.

This song is dedicated to my mama
This song is a tribute to my mother.

Who taught me how to put on my pajamas
My mother taught me how to dress myself.

Always let me have a couple dollars
My mother would give me a small amount of money when I needed it.

But told me that my dreams I better follow
My mother encouraged me to pursue my dreams.

I love my mama, I love my mama
I love my mother very much.

I'ma hold her hand, I'ma kiss her cheek
I will hold my mother's hand and kiss her cheek.

'Cause that's my mama, I don't care who sees
I don't care who sees me holding my mother's hand and kissing her cheek.

I can't lie to her face, I can't lie on the phone
I can't lie to my mother, whether it's face-to-face or on the phone.

She can hear it in my voice, oh yeah, she knows something's wrong
My mother can tell when something is wrong just by hearing my voice.

She keep the family together, make sure we get along
My mother is the one who keeps our family together and ensures that we all get along.

You swear she a bodybuilder, man that lady so strong
My mother is so strong, both physically and emotionally.

And I'm still her baby, even though I'm grown
Even though I am an adult, I am still my mother's child.

You can call me mama's boy all you want!
I don't care if people tease me for being close to my mother.

This is for all the mamas
This song is for all the mothers out there.

Grand-mamas, great grand-mamas
This includes grandmothers and great-grandmothers.

Step-mamas, single mamas, yeah
This includes stepmothers and single mothers.

All the mamas working more than one job
This includes all mothers who have more than one job.

Working real, real hard
They work tirelessly and put in a lot of effort.

Mamas all over the world, you know
Mothers can be found all over the world.

Oooooo, I love my mama, I love my mama
I love my mother very much.

I love my mama, mama
I love my mother.
