[Verse 1]

Don’t worry about him momma, he ain’t really a man
I don’t fault you at all, you did the best that you can
He chose to leave us both, that was part of his plan
He didn’t know at 22, I had legs to stand
He didn’t know at 22, I could hold my own
He didn’t know at 22, I be writin' this song
Momma please don’t cry
He ain’t worth them tears
He ain’t worth that stress
He ain’t worth them years you spent wondering, was it him or was you?
I was young, still a baby, but a part of me knew
You took care of me, so every part of me grew
While he out running the streets to be a part of the crew
I hated getting phone calls that he’ll see me on the weekend
Saturday come, and I ain’t see him on the weekend
My heartache is not your fault, me and you momma we is lost
So momma get up

I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position
(Cause you my one and only)
I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position
(Cause you my one and only)
[Verse 2]

PTA meetings, you was there by yourself
See every other parent thought that you needed some help
And every other parent thought that I was gonna be a misfit
But now I’m great and that man missed it
Wipe your tears momma, momma please don’t cry
I remember you yelling to him, “Please Don’t Lie”
He thought that if he sent me some letters in the mail
That I wouldn’t be mad, yeah damn he sad
I know you wanted me at graduation
But with this dough, we can go on vacation
Far from heartache, far from lies
So momma just smile, be far from cryin'
Let the sun shine, the sky weather is blue
My dad ask, “how you doing”
You say, “better than you"

[John Mayer - Heart of Life Sample]

I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position
(Cause you my one and only)
I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position
(Cause you my one and only)
