Karaoké Mama B. J. Thomas

Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young and knew just when to come and see what you had done

Mama

Oh mama

And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry 'cos he was too big for you to try

Mama

Mama

And who's the one you didn't need to plead to give her time to the little league

It was mama

Oh mama

And who's the one who gave her shoulder when you told her your first love was over

She'd met someone older

Mama

Mama

It was mama

My mama

Mama

Oh mama

Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation

Mama

Mama

And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known a home away from home when they were tired and all alone

Mama

Mama

And who's the one who held a tear inside when you introduced your future bride

And who's the one who didn't mean to cry as you walked down the aisle

The tears you saw her smile

Mama

Oh mama

Mama

My mama

It was mama

My mama
