He used to be my only enemy and never let me free,
Catching me in places that I know I shouldn’t be,
Every other day I crossed the line,
I didn’t mean to be so bad,
I never thought you would
Become the friend I never had.
Back then I didn’t know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All that you did was love,
Mama I love you, mama I care,
Mama I love you, mama my friend,
My friend
I didn’t want to hear it then but
I’m not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was right for me,
I had a lot of time to think about,
About the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of my responsibility.
Back then I didn’t know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All that you did was love,
Mama I love you, mama I care,
Mama I love you, mama my friend, my friend
But now I’m sure I know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All I can give you is love,
Mama I love you, mama I care,
Mama I love you, mama my friend,
My friend
Mama I love you, mama I care,
Mama I love you, mama my friend,
You’re my friend
