Sorry, Ma, I didn't come home last night I didn't do what you asked, stayed out 'til the morning light I'm running around in this lost city It's hard to keep my word, don't wait up for me A mother's love don't ever change A mother's love don't ever change Even though your blood runs through my veins I will be leaving, leaving just the same There is no other that can take your place Memories of my childhood time can not erase But I've found a boy I cast my gaze upon I wanna be with him when the day is done A mother's love don't ever change A mother's love don't ever change Even though your blood runs through my veins I will be leaving, leaving just the same Oh, sometimes I wonder why I was put here on earth To be with another for all the trouble it's worth So I decided to stand all alone But the hours roll by so sad and slow A mother's love don't ever change A mother's love don't ever change Even though your blood runs through my veins I will be leaving when I hear him call my name
