This song is going out to all the mothers out there.

And especially to my mother.

Mama tell.

You don't know.

You know as parents you have done the very best for your children.

And God he knows.

Continue to do your very best.

But mama,

I remember the time when my daddy passed away.

And you, mama, you raise up so many children on your own

And we've never gone to our bed hungry.

And we've never looked the worse.

And at times you don't have much money, but God puts something in your purse.

That's why I said what is in a request To say how much I care

Cause if it wasn't for you my mama I would not be here

No, I just wanna sing these small words

Mama, I love you

We love you so much, Mama.

Love you so much, Mama.

Listen.

I used to wake at five in the morning

And I used to help mama carry her load Sometimes I carried the basket

For mama when she's going to market, she used to sell down in Princess Street.

And she used to stay there all week and sleep on cardboard all week long.

So I could get an education That's why I said what is inadequate To say how much I care

Cause if it wasn't for you, my mama I would not be here

No, I just wanna say in these small words

Mama, I love you.

My sweet mama, love you so much.

Oh, listen to me now.

Whatever you got to do for your mother, my friend.

You better do it now.

Don't wait until it's too late.

to tell your mommy how you feel.

Don't just save up all that money to give her a beautiful funeral.

And don't wait until it's Mother's Day to hug her and tell her, Mom, you are so special.

That's why I said what is in a regret To say how much I care Cause if it wasn't for you my mama

I would not be here No, I just wanna sing these small words

Love you.

Love you so much, Mama.

Ooh, yeah.

Love you, love you so much, Mama.

I want to thank the Lord for your life.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love you so much, Mama.

I love you.

Love you, I love you, I love you.

Mama, I love you.
