A Mother’s Love

[Intro]
Some people say they don’t believe in love at first sight
Ha, but I must admit the first time I laid eyes on my mother I fell in love
This dedicated to you, mama
I love you

[Verse 1]
Before I entered the world, I was a spirit
So God gave me a home, yeah
He knew that you could give me love unconditional
So inside of you I began to grow
Our connection was so amazing
(Your belly was filled with my love)
I gave a little kick when I heard your voice
(Go mama, go mama) Go mama
I know how much you felt the pain
'Cause I was ready
For you to meet your baby boy

[Chorus]
You’re the first girl that I loved
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
Nothing can come between us
There’s nothing that can replace the love of a mother
I know in you I can always trust
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
We only get one mother
There’s nothing that can replace a mother’s love, a mother’s love

[Verse 2]
My teenage years you were there to guide me
Your discipline turned me into a man, ooh yeah
I watched you as you headed out the door every morning, yeah
Never trippin', just providing what I needed
I know your life ain’t been easy
(We struggled but we made it with love)
We struggled but you didn’t let it show
(Go mama, go mama) Go mama
And there’s no one that can take your place
You’ve been everything
For that I got to let you know

[Chorus]
You’re the first girl that I loved
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
Nothing can come between us
There’s nothing that can replace the love of a mother
Ooh, I know in you I can always trust, yeah, oh
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
We only get one mother
There’s nothing that can replace a mother’s love, a mother’s love
(I got to break it on down for my mama)

[Interlude]
Yo, this goes out to all the mothers in the world
The single mothers, the married mothers
Especially my mother
Mama, you know I love you
From the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul
You’ll always be the first woman I ever fell in love with

[Chorus]
You’re the first girl that I loved
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
I know in you I can always trust
There’s nothing that can replace the love of a mother
Mama, do you hear me?
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
Nobody can take your place, oh no, oh no
There’s nothing that can replace a mother’s love, a mother’s love
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
