Mama I understand your many sleepless nights
|
When you sit and you think about Father
|
Or how you tried to be the perfect wife
|
You used to dress and fix your hair
|
Then you smiled through your tears
|
In the mirror you would stare
|
And say a prayer
|
Like I wish he said I'm beautiful
|
I wish it didn't hurt at all
|
I don't know how I got here
|
I was once the one who had his heart
|
Until you had enough
|
then you took that ring off
|
You took that ring off
|
So tired of the lies and
|
trying fighting crying
|
Took that ring off
|
Oh now the fun begins
|
Dust yourself off and you love again
|
You found a new man now
|
you shine and you're fine
|
Like it's my time you took that ring off
|
Mama so sexy
|
you live and learn
|
that's just the way life goes
|
Uh you a killer you a killer killer
|
Always know that you've got a daughter
|
That's so so proud you took the high road
|
You a killer so sexy
|
You used to dress and fix your hair
|
Then you always smiled through your tears
|
In the mirror you would stare
|
And say a prayer
|
Like I wish he said I'm beautiful
|
I wish it didn't hurt at all
|
I don't know how I got here
|
I was once the one who had his heart
|
Until you had enough
|
then you took that ring off
|
You took that ring off
|
So tired of the lies and
|
trying fighting crying
|
Took that ring off
|
Oh now the fun begins
|
Dust yourself off and you love again
|
You found a new man now
|
you shine and you're fine
|
Like it's my time you took that ring off
|
After all your tears
|
After all that pain's all clear
|
Mama after all them years
|
We can start all over again
|
Mama and now it all makes sense
|
Letting go is never the end
|
Mama we can love again
|
This is where freedom begins
|
Mama so put your love on top
|
You gon' shine and put your love on top
|
It's your time to put your love on top
|
Everybody put your love on top
|
Aye love on top
|
Aye love on top
|
It's your time to put your love on top
|
Girl you so fine put your love on top
|
If you're going through it
|
just know it's called going THROUGH it
|
If you're not gonna get stuck there
|
you're not gonna die
|
You're gonna survive
|
