GOD MADE MAMAS TO CRY
God made
Mamas to cry
When He gave them headstrong children
With leaving on their mind
Saying every little bird
Must leave the nest some time
And He made Mama so smart
So she can see an excuse
And I tell you not to worry, Mama
But I know it's no use
Yes, I guess God made
Mamas to cry
When He gave them wandering children
Who just forget to write
And then He makes Mama worry
Long into the night
Yes, God gave Mama
Too much heart
And children that try
To tear it apart
Yes, I guess God made
Mamas to cry
When He gave them headstrong children
Who just wouldn't lie
Even though it hurt
So hard sometimes
And I know it doesn't seem fair
That I can't stop you from caring
And I just can't see
Why you've got children like me
Why mama, why, why, why?
I guess it's God made Mamas to cry
God made Mamas to cry
