Love Me Like My Mama
[Verse 1]
Mama raised me right
It's 'cause of her my standards are so high, high
She's the reason why I'm still alone
'Cause no one comes close

[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty faces are great
But I was raised by the best
Now I can't settle for less

[Chorus]
If she don't love me like my mama
I ain't gonna give her my heart
If she ain't in it for the long run
Sayonara, baby, I'm gone (Hm-hm-hm)
All of this temporary love got my heart sick
If it ain't always and forever, just forget it
I'm not lookin' for perfect (Hm-mm)
No, that ain't the problеm

[Post-Chorus]
Just want someone to love mе like my—
My, my, my mama
My, my, my mama
[Verse 2]
I don't need a lot
But if I'm gonna give away my heart (Hm)
I just need to know that they won't leave it in the cold
When I'm growin' old, when I'm growin' old (Hm-mm)

[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty faces are great
But I was raised by the best
Now I can't settle for less

[Chorus]
If she don't love me like my mama
I ain't gonna give her my heart
If she ain't in it for the long run
Sayonara, baby, I'm gone (Hm-hm-hm)
All of this temporary love got my heart sick
If it ain't always and forever, just forget it
I'm not lookin' for perfect (Hm-mm)
No, that ain't the problem

[Post-Chorus]
Just want someone to love me like my—
My, my, my mama
My, my, my mama
Who will love me like my—
My, my, my mama
My, my, my mama
