MAMA, YOU NEVER TOLD ME © 1996 K. Dykes
When I was younger I began to understand
About the bond between a woman and a man
For many years I gave my time, I paid my dues
You know, it was hard for me to lose
Now I’m older and I’m out here on my own
I face this great big world alone
Mama, you never told me, I’d cry myself to sleep
Mama, you never told me, how hard a promise is to keep
I know it’s over and the years are passing by
There still are times I wonder why
If only for the moment, I could break away
And leave behind the pain of my yesterdays
I know the sun would shine a ray of light on me
And warm my spirit deep inside
Oh, Mama, you never told me
