(Ladies and gentlemen)

(Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies)

(Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies)

(Ladies and gentleman, gentleman, gentleman)

(We got Anthony Hamilton in the house tonight)

(He just came from off tour)

(He got a little some he wanna say)

I know you love me

I can tell by the way that you kiss me tight, when you hug me

Took me to school the very first day

You gave me a piece of butterscotch sent me on my way

I know its frightenin' now

I can tell by the pain in your eyes when the rent was late again

Too strong to fold, bein' on your own

Lord bless her soul

Mama knows love

(Mama knew love like the back roads)

(Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes)

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)

Mom I swear you never have to worry, no, no

(Mama knew love like the back streets) Mama knew love

(Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet)

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)

Up bright and early

Scrambled eggs, swellin' in your legs, bills on the bed

Still you managed to show me a smile

Then walk to work about two or three miles

Mom I'm gonna struggle with ya

I'm gonna help you see the bigger picture

You gave me something no one can take away

You make it so easy to say

I love you mama

(Mama knew love like the back roads) Mama knew love

(Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes) Everyday

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)

You never have to worry again, mama love you, oh yeah, yeah

(Mama knew love like the back streets) Mama knew love

(Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet)

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)

Never have to worry again

No, no, now

(Mama knew love, she gave me love)

Mama knew love

(Crazy love, so much love)

Crazy love, crazy love

(Mama knew love, she gave me love)

Mama knew love, crazy love

(Crazy love, so much love)

She gave, she gave, gave me everything, mama

(Mama knew love like the back roads)

(Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes)

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)

I swear mama you don't have to worry

(Mama knew love like the back streets)

(Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet)

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)

Never, no baby

(Mama knew love like the back roads)

(Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes) She knew no love

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)

Gave me love, she gave love, oh-oh

(Mama knew love like the back streets)

Gave me love, now

(Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet)

(Mom I swear you never have to worry again)
