Who's the one

"Mama"

Who's the one
Who tied your shoe
When you were young
And knew just when
To come and see
What you had done?
Mama, oh Mama

And who's the one
Who patched your eye
And told you not to cry
'Cause he was too big
For you to try?
Mama, Ma-a-ma

And who's the one
You didn't need to plead
To give her time
To the Little League?
It was Mama,
Oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a

And who's the one
Who gave her shoulder
When you told her
Your first love was over
She'd met someone older
Mama, Mama

It was Mama,
My ma-a-a-ma-a-a

Who's the one
Who taught you obligation
Then dedication
Result graduation?
Mama, Mama

And who's the one
Who's shown the friends
You've known
A home away from home
When they were tired
And all alone?
Mama, Mama

And who's the one
Who held a tear inside
When you introduced
Your future bride?

And who's the one
Who didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the aisle,
The tears you saw her smile
Mama, oh, Mama

Ma-a-m-a-a,
My Ma-a-ma-a
It was Ma-a-m-a-a
