When I was a boy my mamma told me She told me daddy ran away He stole your little Sister Good I know you'll miss her But Son we'll get thru you and me Some day somebody sang me song A sad song abou't how mamma was wrong Pointed their fingers at me Said little man you ain't got a clue What's going on what's going on I got lots of love inside my soul So I'll never ever feel alone I believe I'll make it on my own On my own Mamma said a lot of solid things She promised me the world but then again Daddy never phoned sister didn't come home And still I wonder what what went wrong Oh my ma ma mamma didn't like me wunder She said dear son you better leave it alone There ain't nothing you can do about it You got to be strong and live without it I got lots of love inside my soul And I'll never ever feel alone I believe I'll make it on my own On my own ♪ Somewhere deep in my mind I know that my mamma was right But from what I have learned in the past I'll remember this I got lots of love inside my soul So I'll never ever feel alone I believe I'll make it on my own On my own I got lots of love inside my soul I'll be dancing til the day i'll get old I believe I'll make it on my own On my own
