Is This What Mama Meant

Is this what Mama meant

When she told me how hard it can get?

It is no easy feat

To keep making good memories

Our hearts are black and blue

From learning what not to do

But we both mean so well

Least that's what we tell ourselves

But I'm not givin' up

No matter how close I come

I won't ever walk away

Don't fear that you'll see that day

I think you're worth the time

It takes us to get this right

It's hard for me and you

But that don't make our love untrue

Is this what real love's like?

The ups and the downs of life

It ain't what the movies show

Some days, how you hurt me so

But I'm no angel, too

I take out my pain on you

Because I know I can

You're such a devoted man

But I'm not givin' up

No matter how close I come

I won't ever walk away

Don't fear that you'll see that day

I think you're worth the time

It takes us to get this right

It's hard for me and you

But that don't make our love untrue

I'm not givin' up

No matter how close I come

I won't ever walk away

Don't fear that you'll see that day

I think you're worth the time

It takes us to get this right

It's hard for me and you

But that don't make our love untrue

Is this what Mama meant?
