Anthony Hamilton - Comin' From Where I'm From

Mama Knew Love

Ladies and gentlemen (hmm)
Ladies-la-la-ladies, ladies-la-la-ladies
Ladies-la-la-ladies, ladies-la-la-ladies
Ladies-la-la-ladies and ge-gentlemen, gentlemen (oh, yeah)
We got Anthony Hamilton in the house tonight (yeah)
He just came from off tour
He got a little some he wanna say

I know you love me
I can tell by the way that you kiss me tight, when you hug me
Took me to school the very first day
You gave me a piece of butterscotch sent me on my way

I know its frightenin'
I can tell by the pain in your eyes when the rent was late again
Too strong to fold, bein' on your own
Lord bless her soul

Mama knows love
Mama knew love like the back roads (hmm)
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes (yeah)
Mom I swear you never have to worry again (mama I swear you never have to worry, no, no)

Mama knew love like the back streets (mama knew love)
Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet (oh, no)
Mom I swear you never have to worry again

Up bright and early (what)
Scrambled eggs, swellin' in your legs, bills on the bed (what, what)
Still you managed to show me a smile (what, what)
Then walk to work about two or three miles (what)

Mom I'm gonna struggle with ya
I'm gonna help you see the bigger picture
You gave me something no one can take away
You make it so easy to say

I love you mama
Mama knew love like the back roads (I say mama knew love
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes (everyday)
Mom I swear you never have to worry again (you never have to worry again, mama I love you, yea)

Mama knew love like the back street (mama knew love)
Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet (hey, hey, hey)
Mom I swear you never have to worry again
No, no, no

Mama knew love (say mama knew love)
She gave me love (crazy love)
Crazy love (crazy love)
So much love
Mama knew love (mama knew love)
Crazy love (she gave me love)
She gave me, she gave me, gave everything (crazy love, so much love)

Mama
Mama knew love like the back roads (oh)
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes
Mom I swear you never have to worry again (iswear mama no, not to worry)

Mama knew love like the back streets (ah mummy)
Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet (keep on loving)
Mom I swear you never have to worry again (everything)

Mama knew love like the back roads (oh)
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes (she knew love)
Mom I swear you never have to worry again (gave me love, she gave me love)

Mama knew love like the back streets
Used to wipe pee just to make the ends (gave me love now)
Mom I swear you never have to worry again
Oh, love, crazy love, crazy love
