Your Mother Called On Me Today

[Intro]
Your mother called on me today
To have a heart-to-heart
I took her coat and rested it
And we sat down to start
And then she said

[Verse 1]
He's my son
My one and only boy
All I want for him is
Happiness and joy
That's why (That's why)
I came to see you today (Today, today)

[Verse 2]
He has no time for love
I'm sending him to school
He's going to be a doctor
Not just some lovesick fool
That's why (That's why)
You'd only be in his way (You'd only be in his way)

[Bridge]
She said his father worked his fingers
Right down to the bone
So one day our son might have
An office of his own
With his name (His name)
In gold letters (Engraved)
Engraved on the door
But sincе you came along
He don't study no more

[Verse 3]
I sat thеre and I cried (Ooh, I cried)
I knew that she was right
I said, "Don't you know I've tried
Tried with all my might
So please, oh, please
Try to understand" (Please, please)
"I know that he's your son (He's your son)
Your one and only boy
But he's my man
He's my man"
