Lyrics for Song: Sadie
Lyrics for Album: 12 Play [1993]
This goes out to my mother
The one I love
And the one I lost
When it comes down to thinking about what my mother has done for me
The love she's given makes it easy to do a song like this
So this one's for you, ma
I love you
Early one Sunday morning
Breakfast was on the table
There was no time to eat
She said to me
Boy hurry to Sunday school
Filled with the Lord of Glory
We learned the Holy story
She'll always have her dreams
Despite the things
This troubled world can bring
[chorus 1]
Oh Sadie
Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie
Living in the past
Sometimes it seems so funny
No money can turn your life around
Sweeter than cotton candy
Stronger than Papa's old brandy
Always that needed smile
Once in a while she would break down and cry
Some times she'd be so happy
Being with us and Daddy
Standing the word of time
Breaking the binds
With just a simple song
[chorus 2]
Oh Sadie
Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie
(she's loving us all in a special way, well well well well)
Place no one above you, sweet Sadie (sweet, Sade)
Livin' in the past
Oh, she's never sinnin'
In love she's always winnin, yeah
Sadie (my, my, my, my,my,my, my)
Don't you know we love you sweet Sadie (I love you mama)
Place no one above you sweet Sadie
(I just can't forget how you gave me love, oh Lord)
If there's heaven up above
I know she's teachin' angels how to love
Sadie (It's a mean world without you)
Don't you know we love you sweet Sadie
(and surely miss you much, mother)
Place no one above you sweet Sadie
And now that your gone
I'm gonna carry on
Cause your quite a lady, whoa Sadie
[chorus] *R.Kelly sings on*
When I think about the things that you've done for me
Hey
It brings a joy way down, deep inside of me
Whoa
See I love you momma
Yes I do
I'll never for get you momma
Never
