Mama's gotta problem

she don't know what to say

her little baby boy just left home today

she's got to be the loser in the end

she's got to be the loser in the end

misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend

she's ma on whom you can always depend



she washed and fed, and clothed and cared

for nearly twenty years

and all she gets is "goodbye ma"

and the nightimes for her tears

she's got to be the loser in the end

she's got to be the loser in the end

misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend

she's ma on whom you can always depend



so listen mothers everywhere

to just one mother's son

you'll get forgotten on the way

if you don't let them have their fun

forget regrets, and just remember

it's so long since you were young



you're bound to be the loser in the end

you're bound to be the loser in the end

they'll choose their new shoes that's not far to bend

you're ma on whom they can always depend
