Mama, just had to call, oh, Mama
Your baby boy just had his heart
Broken in two, she said we're through
But to send her best to you
Oh, Mama, I'd like to run to you, Mama
I'd come home today, leave right away
But things won't work that way
Gotta stay, be a man
If I can, Mama

No, Mom, I don't know. I called her tonight
No, not at home. Yeah, you're probably right
Yes, I'll take care of myself. No, I'll be alright
I'll go to bed early tonight
Oh, Mama, tell Dad I think of him, Mama
How's Uncle Joe, my puppy, Coco
Tell them hello, oh, better go
But gosh, I loved her so

Umm, Mama, don't worry so much, darling Mama
Now, Mama don't cry, just say goodbye
Can't have us both in tears, oh, Mom, you know me
Yes, I'll always be your baby through all the years
