lyrics
Mama
Why didn’t you ever go away?
Did you know there would be better days?
Or did you think you had no other way?
Or fear you’d find no other place?
Did you think that your life would be over?
Or that you would have to live under cover?
That you’d have to face all of the others?
To run away all over?
CHORUS
I don’t know how you played it Mama,
I don’t know how you made it Mama
You played it, you made it, you won it for us
You played it, you made it for us
I don’t know why you stayed Mama
I don’t know what you prayed for Mama
You stayed, you prayed, you yielded for us
Couldn’t get out of here for us
Do you think it really was worth it?
Do you think he ever was so worthy?
Of everything that you did for him?
Of all the love you felt for him?
Why would it be good enough for you?
Why think you weren’t good enough for better
Didn’t you trust in you or the others
Did you feel out of the blue?
CHORUS
Mama you lived for us
Mama you cared for us
You never let us down
No matter rain or shine
No matter pain or high
You always raged our wars
Oh Mama oh oh oh oh oh oh…
Oh Mama oh oh oh oh oh oh…
CHORUS
I don’t know why you stayed Mama
Why didn’t you ever go away?
Did you know there would be better days?
Or did you think you had no other way?
Or fear you’d find no other place?
Did you think that your life would be over?
Or that you would have to live under cover?
That you’d have to face all of the others?
To run away all over?
CHORUS
I don’t know how you played it Mama,
I don’t know how you made it Mama
You played it, you made it, you won it for us
You played it, you made it for us
I don’t know why you stayed Mama
I don’t know what you prayed for Mama
You stayed, you prayed, you yielded for us
Couldn’t get out of here for us
Do you think it really was worth it?
Do you think he ever was so worthy?
Of everything that you did for him?
Of all the love you felt for him?
Why would it be good enough for you?
Why think you weren’t good enough for better
Didn’t you trust in you or the others
Did you feel out of the blue?
CHORUS
Mama you lived for us
Mama you cared for us
You never let us down
No matter rain or shine
No matter pain or high
You always raged our wars
Oh Mama oh oh oh oh oh oh…
Oh Mama oh oh oh oh oh oh…
CHORUS
I don’t know why you stayed Mama
