I don't have many words to say
It's been over a year since you left that day
I'm trying to be everything
You said I could and would be

This little world we live in
Is plagued with fear
Try to find a guy
Like you said I should when you were here

I think of you
And somehow
Problems
They don't seem so hard
It's all you endured in your life
You are

And if I cried a million times
You must have died a million times
From the pain
(Oh)
Mama, I miss you
But I know you made it whole again

(I, I, oh, oooh, oh)
This one's for you, girl
(I, I, oh, oooh, oh)
My little Shirley girl
(I, I, oh, oooh, oh)
Oh, I miss you
(I, I, oh, oooh, oh)
And I want you all to know
That I'm trying
To everyone here in my heart
I'm trying

And I could never regret you
Sweet baby
Yes
It's so hard
Trying to raise a boy to a man
(Ooh, oh)

I think of you
And somehow
I can make it through another day
Cause I want the best for your life

And if I tried a million times
I couldn't find a love closer to get
(Oh)
Mama's little angels
You're the reason why
(I, I, oh, oooh, oh)
This one's for you, boy
(I, I, oh, oooh, oh)
My little angel
(I, I, oh, oooh, oh)
My savior
