| I just thought that you should know
|
| I just thought that you should know
|
| I just thought that
|
| I just thought that
|
| You should know how much you mean to me
|
| I know I don’t call enough
|
| I know you worried 'bout me, out here all alone
|
| I hope I fall in love
|
| I’ll be alright though, I’m in no hurry
|
| Happy chasing down my dream, I’m getting there, don’t worry ma
|
| I’ma be there someday, I’ma settle down, you wait and see
|
| I’ll be successful if I give back half of what you gave to me
|
| And I just wanted you to know
|
| Yeah I just wanted you to know
|
| You’re my hero ma, you really are, I’m so damn proud of you
|
| And I see Katie doing good, I know she learned a lot from you
|
| Won’t forget the time I caught you crying 'cause I caught you lying
|
| Told me you were laughing, you were always trying to hide it
|
| I thought I was losing you in high school, doctors couldn’t heal it
|
| Told me it might take your health, but it would never take your spirit
|
| You were right, you’re a fighter, you’re the strongest woman I know
|
| Even when I’m far away, you’re everywhere that I go
|
| And I just wanted you to know
|
| Yeah, I just wanted you to know
|
| I could never put a price on what you gave to me
|
| And I just wanted you to know
|
| Yeah, I just wanted you to know
|
| How much I appreciate and you are my foundation
|
| It’s not the life you would have chose for me, I know it’s not
|
| But I’ma still go and make you proud hopefully
|
| I’ll always be the way you raised me
|
| I gotta do it my way though or I’ll go crazy
|
| Lately, I’ve been coming face to face with everything you prepped me for
|
| You might think I don’t, but I remember what you said before
|
| And I just wanted you to know
|
| Yeah I just wanted you to know
|
| You taught me how to be a man, you always treated mom right
|
| Nobody could know the half
|
| You never needed limelight
|
| I learned more than I can put in words just by watching you
|
| Ironic this music is my way to get that across to you, isn’t it?
|
| Since a kid I’ve been listening
|
| Your dad’s been sick for years, you’re like the only one who visits him
|
| I know it’s not easy, his mind is gone and you miss him
|
| But you taught me family is family and mine’s in Michigan and you should know
|
| And I just wanted you to know
|
| Yeah, I just wanted you to know
|
| I could never put a price on what you gave to me
|
| And I just wanted you to know
|
| Yeah, I just wanted you to know
|
| I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me
