You taught me everything and everything you've given me

I always keep it inside

You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything or anyone that I can be

And it just wouldn't feel right

If I didn't have you by my side

Ooh, you were there for me to love and care for me

When skies were grey

Whenever I was down, you were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be what you have been to me

You will always be

You will always be the girl in my life

For all times

Mama, mama, you know I love you

Ooh, you know I love you, mama

Mama, you're the queen of my heart

Your love is like tears from the stars (yes it is)

Mama, I just want you to know

Loving you is like food to my soul

Yes it is, yes it is

Oh, yes it is

Yes it is, yes it is, oh

You're always down for me, have always been around for me

Even when I was bad

You showed me right from my wrongs, yes, you did

And you took up for me when everyone was downing me

You always did understand

You gave me strength to go on

There were so many times, looking back, when I was so afraid

And then you come to me and say to me, I can face anything

And no one else can do what you have done for me

You'll always be

You will always be the girl in my life, ooh oh

Mama, mama, you know I love you (you know I love you)

Oh, you know I love you

Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (you are)

Your love is like tears from the stars (your love is like tears from the stars)

Mama, I just want you to know (mama, I just want you to know)

Loving you is like food to my soul

Never gonna go a day without you

Fills me up just thinking about you

I'll never go a day without my mama

Mama, you know, mama, I love you (oh, you know I love you)

Mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart (the queen of my heart)

Your love is like tears from the stars (say your love) (your love is like tears from the stars)

Mama, I just want you to know (mama, whoa, oh, mama, mama)

Loving you is like food to my soul

Loving you is like food to my soul

Oh, yeah

You are the food to my soul

Yes, you are
