Momma Knew Love

Momma Knew Love

Mama Knew Love

by Anthony Hamilton



Verse I

I know you love me

I can tell by the way that you kiss me / tight when you hug me

Took me to school the very first day

Gave me a piece of butterscotch / sent me on my way

I know it's frightening

I could tell by the pain in your eyes when the rent was late again

Too strong to fold / being on your own / Lord bless her soul....mama knows love



Chorus

Mama knew love like the back roads

Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes

Mom swear you never have to worry again

Mama knew love like the back streets

Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet

Mom swear you never have to worry again



Verse II

Up bright and early / scrambled eggs / swellin' in ya legs / bills on the bed

Still you managed to show me a smile

Then walk to work about two or three miles

Mom I'm gonna struggle witcha

I'm gonna help you see the bigger picture

You gave me something no one could take away

You made it so easy to say...I love ya mama



Chorus

Mama knew love like the back roads

Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes

Mom swear you never have to worry again

Mama knew love like the back streets

Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet

Mom swear you never have to worry again...no no no



Bridge

Mama knew love / she gave me love

Crazy love / so much love

Mama knew love / she gave me love

Crazy love / so much love



Chorus

Repeat 3X

Ad lib out.......
