I'm getting older and I do everything just like you
Without even thinking
When I'm standing in the mirror
Seeing features of yourself when I'm blinking
Cause of you
Now momma I'm a queen too
I hear your voice in ear saying
Don't take everything they try to hand you
And things aren't always perfect on the dot
Sometimes you got to go and just use what you got
Because of you
I can see beauty where there's flaws
Because of you
I work to live and give when there is cause
Because of you
I can choose good company and keep it slim
Shout out to your girls
Benita, Joyce, Van and dem
And if I ever lose a child
Own a single mother's home
Gods help, I can do it on my own
Only feeling sorry for those who doubt you
That's why I want to tell you that I love you and I'm proud you

It's your fault
Momma, I blame you
My daddy, grandma, pawpaw, too
It's your fault
Yep, If I'm strong
If I can make it in this world
And know how to get along
It's your fault
If I know of love
And if I act as if I know the Man above
Hold my head up
Stand up tall
It's your fault
Yeah, I blame y'all

Because of you
I know God is able
Remember bible studies at the table
Because of you
Oh, how different was us
You and momma had us praying
Yeah before we caught the bus
Because of you I believe in God's glory
Till this day, so amazed at your stories
You taught me how to ride a bike on my own
That's a time I can't forget
It's so vivid in my dome
One of my best days in life-for real
I can still feel the wind when we rolling down the hill
Because of you
work and fixing things a man
That why I got a guy that loves to work with his hands
Because of you
A man can say dinners ready
But every now and then
Still can't eat spaghetti
Because of you
I get advice and it's for free
And I ain't never have to worry bout you judging me

It's your fault
Momma, I blame you
My daddy, grandma, pawpaw, too
It's your fault
Yep, If I'm strong
If I can make it in this world
And know how to get along
It's your fault
If I know of love
And if I act as if I know the Man above
Hold my head up
Stand up tall
It's your fault
Yeah, I blame y'all

Thank you for the wedding, dem birthdays, and that holiday magic
The times that you gave
Mom, yeah you gave
You gave and did not have it
Not saying y'all was perfect but the love it was perfection
Shown by concern and correction
Still amazed when you can sense something wrong
Still have the same power though I'm grown
And the things that I learned from you
Are the same things that now I do
So, Sunday morning, be in someone's church
And you bets believe Monday morning- someone's work
And when I'm done, I'm gonna wash that cup
Gotta keep the house clean
Can't let dem clothes pile up
Save my money yeah and pay my dues
And never ever leave the house wearing house shoes
And pajamies

It's your fault
Momma, I blame you
My daddy, grandma, pawpaw, too
It's your fault
Yep, If I'm strong
If I can make it in this world
And know how to get along
It's your fault
If I know of love
And if I act as if I know the Man above
Hold my head up
Stand up tall
It's your fault
Yeah, I blame y'all
