| I had never met Granny on my fathers side
|
| Met the one on my mommas side
|
| By the time I was probably 5 I realized that her and momma would never see eye
|
| to eye
|
| But yo time and time again my momma tried
|
| To the point where I figured that I should try
|
| Then grand momma died
|
| I’m raising my voice to the sky to God
|
| Really I’m trying to find out why
|
| She never hugged me just one time
|
| Never told me she loved me just one time
|
| I mean one time would have been just fine
|
| Man people can be so unkind
|
| Maybe you never understood what I would do for
|
| A little bit of your attention shined a few floors
|
| Look every other day I would find a new chore
|
| Hoping you’d like do more
|
| Your dining room floor looked nice and new or I’d find a broom
|
| I’d sweep your entire room till I was too sore
|
| Maybe you didn’t like me cause I was too poor
|
| Misguided views sure
|
| Maybe you didn’t like me cause my skin, didn’t have light skin
|
| My skin wasn’t bright but I was a bright kid
|
| Sorry I didn’t make you proud
|
| I was waiting for you to love something but you didn’t know how
|
| Didn’t know what I was thinking about
|
| But I wanted your love just one time when I was a child
|
| She never hugged me just one time
|
| Never told me she loved me just one time
|
| I mean one time would have been just fine
|
| Man people can be so unkind
|
| But she passed away so God rest her soul
|
| How she really felt about me I will never know
|
| I’m trying to get points across in this song I’m finna be out of breathe and
|
| I’m now even a little bit concerned with breathe control
|
| I remember those cold nights in Oklahoma
|
| We we’re broke and homeless
|
| But before we could be strolling over to your home
|
| And hope you’d open you were on your phone telling us don’t come over
|
| I know that most my folks in Tulsa won’t like this song but
|
| I don’t want to hold a grudge I wrote this in hopes to console
|
| My broken soul to stop this emotional roller coaster
|
| No love no love what the hell was I thinking of?
|
| Now it’s too late to hold you you’ve gone way up above
|
| Sorry I didn’t make you proud
|
| I was waiting for you to love something but you didn’t know how
|
| Didn’t know what I was thinking about
|
| But I wanted your love just one time when I was a child |
