Mama

Got to let you know, got to let-

Mama, I don't ever want to see you cry (oh, oh, oh)
If then, they knew him, they'd have passed right by
Oh, Joseph's a man of many women, feel no way
Oh, always remember you are the first of them

Whoa, mama, if they could see where we're coming from in the other day
Then they would know just where they belong the other day
They could see where you're coming from, it's the other day
Then they would know just where they belong (where they belong)

(Wow, wow, wow)

Whoa, mama, if they could see where you're coming from, it's the other day
Then they would know just where they belong (we're coming from a long, long way)
If they could see where you're coming from, it's the other day
Then they would know just where they belong (where they belong)

(Mama don't cry, don't wanna see you crying)

Ah, my children (oh mama)

If they could see where we're coming from, it's the other day
Then they would know just where they belong the other day (we're coming from a long, long way)
If they could see where we're coming from, it's the other day
Then they would know just where they belong (where they belong)

Mama, I don't ever want to see you cry (ain't no lie)
If then they knew him, they would have passed right by

So many called, but you were chosen (the very best)
And so you will remain outspoken

Whoa, mama, if they could see where we're coming from, it's the other day
Then they would know just where they belong the other day (we're coming from a long, long way)
If they could see where we're coming from, it's the other day
Then they would know (where they belong)
Then they would know, it's the other day
Yes, they would know (we got it from a long, long way), it's the other day
