[Chorus]
Let me tell you now, mama didn't know
(Mama didn't know)
That I love you so
(That I love you so)
She didn't realize
(She didn't realize)
That I was not like the other guy

[Verse 1]
To you I was just another friend
Who played games with girls over again
Let me tell you that it's just not true
To win you must I be a fool for you?
Girl, if that's the way you feel
You're wrong 'cause I was really real
And let me tell you now

[Chorus]
Mama didn't know
(Mama didn't know)
That I love you so
(That I love you so)
She didn't realize
(She didn't realize)
That I was not like the other guy
[Refrain]
Mama didn't know
Mama didn't know

*whistling*

[Verse 2]
You say the pastime that I have in this world
Are only one and that's just chasing girls
Let me tell you, girl, that's just not true
You say you feel I only make you blue
Well, if that's the way you feel
You're wrong 'cause I was really real
And let me tell you now

[Chorus]
Mama didn't know
(Mama didn't know)
That I love you so
(That I love you so)
She didn't realize
(She didn't realize)
That I was not like the other guys

[Refrain]
Mama didn't know
Mama didn't know
*whistling*
