[Verse 1]
Hey, Mama
It's me, your oldest son
Not the one who still believes
That one day you won't be on the run
And I, I won't take too much time from you
I just wanted to tell you I'm alive and doing fine
So how are you?

[Verse 2]
Hey, Mama
It's me, your oldest son
You kissed me on the head
And left me out for dead when I was only one
I won't take up too much time
I just wanted to tell you I'm alive and doing fine
I'm not looking for your money or even a hug

[Chorus]
I've never known your love
Never known your love
And I don't want your love
I don't need your love

[Bridge]
'Cause I'm doing fine here, the best that I can
I stand on my own, I stand alone, and I stand like a man
And maybe you just, you just didn't care, but that's okay
There's always tomorrow, or some other day
[Chorus]
I've never known your love
And I don't want your love
And I don't need your love
I don't want your love
