You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah
There isn't anything
Or anyone that I could be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side, oh
You were there for me
To love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there
To comfort me
And no one else can be
What you have been to me
You will always be
You will always be the girl
In my life, for all times
Mama, mama you know I love you (I love you)
You know I love you
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars (Yes it is)
Mama I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
(Yes it is, yes it is, oh yes it is, yes it is, yes it is, oh)
You're always down for me
Have always been around for me
Even when I was bad
You've shown me right from my wrongs
Yes you did
And you took up for me
When everyone was down on me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There was so many times
Looking back when I
Was so afraid
And then you'd come to me
And say to me
I could face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be, you will always be
The girl in my life
Mama, mama you know I love you (You know I love you)
You know I love you
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (You are)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(Your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama I just want you to know (Mama I just want you to know)
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
Never gonna go a day without you
Fills me up just thinkin' about you
I'll never go a day without my
Mama, mama you know I love you
(You know, mama, you know I love you)
You know I love you
Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (The queen of my heart)
Your love is like tears from the stars
(See your love, your love is like tears from the stars)
Mama I just want you to know (Mama whoa, my mama, mama)
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
(Loving you is like food to my soul)
Oh yeah, yeah
You are the food to my soul
Yes you are
Couldn't have been more than a day over three
Tried to do and be everything that I saw on TV
That won't work now, like it didn't work back then
But then it was easier to imagine for me
We never had to care which party would win
Would the fighting go on, would it ever end?
Yeah, yeah
Not knowing right from wrong was the safest way to be
When we were free, so young and free
And we didn't have a care in the world
We were just too young to understand at all
And if you feel what I'm feelin'
Then you remember
Tell me do you remember when
When everything in life was so much better then
Tell me do you remember when
Do you remember?
Do you, do you remember?
We never had to save for a rainy day
Just enjoying this time in our lives, come what may
But you and me, we never needed to think about the time
Because we were free (When we were free)
So young and free
And we didn't have a care in the world
And we were just too young to understand at all
Ooh, and since you feel what I'm feelin'
I know you remember
Repeat
Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all thru the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl, your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I will do anything
Girl, you need only ask
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby, all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
Girl, relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go,
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl, are you ready?
It's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you, girl
Whatever you ask me
You know I will do
repeat
Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask I will give you
The love of your life
repeat
So you're feelin' lonely
Like love has gone away at night
You're brokenhearted cause your man ain't never done you right
You feel discouraged, feel like loving nothing but love
You're brokenhearted
Take another teardrop from your eyes, I'm telling you
No woman don't cry
Promise I will be by your side
I want you to know that love is a lie (Yes it is)
And love don't want no woman to cry
I can hear you thunder
I can feel the pain in your eyes
I can smell the flowers that he never gave on Valentine's
Don't be discouraged cause he wasn't right
I know your heart is broken
But I promise you that you're those survivors I'm tellin you
No woman don't cry
Promise I will be by your side
I want you to know that love is a lie
And love don't want no woman to cry
You gave him your love
You gave him your soul
You gave him your money
You gave him a home
Well all he ever gave you
Was a broken heart
Well girl I'm right here standing with love
No woman don't cry
Promise I will be by your side
I want you to know that love is a lie
And love don't want no woman to cry
Oh... no
