| All you’ve ever been
|
| Is a call every now and then
|
| From some old pay phone
|
| After you’d hang up
|
| Lord, she’d take it rough
|
| And want to be alone
|
| I know you from the picture
|
| Of you and her together
|
| Taken at a fair in '68
|
| You’ve gotta lot of nerve to think
|
| You can walk right in and take her place
|
| To me you’re just the man who made my mama cry
|
| Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time
|
| All I know about you is how to live without you
|
| And I can see I have your eyes
|
| But all you’ve ever been
|
| Is the man who made my mama cry
|
| When she took off my training wheels
|
| Held a job and cooked the meals
|
| Where were you?
|
| Don’t even start
|
| She did her part
|
| And yours too
|
| Now you’re back to play the part
|
| That was missin' in my heart
|
| When I was growin' up
|
| Well, you’re a little late
|
| I don’t have the time to waste on catchin' up
|
| To me you’re just the man who made my mama cry
|
| Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time
|
| All I know about you is how to live without you
|
| And I can see I have your eyes
|
| But all you’ve ever been
|
| Is the man who made my mama cry
|
| All I know about you is how to live without you
|
| And I can see I have your eyes
|
| But all you’ve ever been
|
| Is the man who made my mama cry |
