Mama Said

I couldn't sleep last night

There was something on my mind

I lay there wishing in the dark

Someone could tell me why

If you love somebody

from the bottom of your heart

Why do you hurt each other

How does it fall apart?

And then I heard a voice

as she sat down on my bed

And I can still remember

The words my mama said

Love can give love can take

Love can bend and love can break

When you think it's over it's not the end

Don't give in just be strong

And please remember son my mama said

There aren't no broken heart love cannot mend

My mama said no one knows

What your life has got in store

You may go walking on the moon

You may be rich or poor

But I know for certain

If you try to reach the stars

Anything is possible

Your dreams are what you are

But when it comes to matters of the heart

There is no guarantees

All that I can say to you

Is what my mama said to me

Love can give love can take

Love can bend and love can break

When you think it's over it's not the end

Don't give in just be strong

And please remember son my mama said

There aren't no broken heart love cannot mend

So one day in my lifetime

When my world falls apart

I won't cry I'll just tell my heart

My heart

Love can give love can take

Love can bend and love can break

When you think it's over it's not the end

Don't give in just be strong

And please remember son my mama said

There aren't no broken heart love cannot mend

There aren't no broken heart love cannot mend
