Lyrics for Song: Mama You'd Have to Be Proud of Me
Lyrics for Album: Here Comes My Baby [RCA Victor] [1965]
(Hank Cochran)
The one I love so much told me goodbye
It hurt so much but I didn't cry
I let a smile hide my misery
Mama, you'd have been proud of me.
Yesterday, I thought to him just like a friend
Smiled and asked him how he'd been
Said, ''I hope you're happy as can be?
Mama, you'd have been proud of me.''
And if you could have seen me today
I'd smile and laugh in my old carefree way
They thought that I was like I'd like to be
Mama, you'd have been proud of me.
Mama, you'd have been proud of me...
