Mama, just had to call, oh Mama
Your baby boy just had his heart broken in two,
She said we're through but to send her best to you.
Oh Mama, I'd like to run to you Mama
I'd come home today, leave right away but things won't work that way
Gotta stay, and be a man, if I can, Oh Mama.
No Mom, I don't know I called her tonight
No, not at home, yeah, you're probably right
Yes I'll take care of myself, no, I'll be alright
I'll go to bed early tonight.
Oh Mama, tell Dad I think of him, Mama
How's Uncle Joe, my puppy Go-Go tell them hello,
Oh I'd better go, but good gosh, I loved her so.
Oh Mama, Don't worry so much, darling Mama
Now Mama don't cry, just say goodbye can't have us both in tears
Well Mom, you know me yes I'll always be your baby through all the years.
