Mama, I know just now
I made you really mad
And what I did today
Was something that was bad.

But mama, I also know
The way you hit's not right
And that is just the reason
I put up such a fight

Hitting me across the face
And kicking me in the back
Is considered child abuse
That is just a fact

But mama, I love you anyway
I just don't understand
Why I take second place
To any given man

You sleep naked in his bed
I'm in a strange place, all alone
When all I really want
Is to be in bed at home

I don't even know his name
Tomorrow is someone new
Though I'm very little, I know
It's not a motherly thing to do

And mama, those things you call me
Hurt my heart and soul
The damage you have caused
I bet you'll never know

But mama, I still love you
Even if you hurt me so
Cause mama I have Jesus
Who hugs me and won't let go
