Mama

Looking through your photos
I imagine all of your dreams
I will always wonder
Who you really were before me
What did you lose?
I hope, nothing too soon

Mama, who were you
Before your man
Know you had some of those
Bigger plans

1989 on 85th and Lefferts Ave
CVS lipstick, you would
Go to school and work at the bank
Many men were chasing
But you'd never have it that way
What kind of tears did you cry
On your wedding day?

Mama, who were you
Before your man
Know you had some of those
Bigger plans

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
