A Mother's Love Songtext

von Donell Jones

Some people say they don't believe in love at first sight
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!

()
Before I entered the world I was a spirit
So God gave me a home, yea
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 wasn't ready
For you to meet your baby boy

()
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

()
My dream these years you were there to look it proudly
You discipline turned me into a man
I watched you lie your head and now I'm gone
Every morning, yea
Never trippin, just providing what I needed
I know your life ain't pretty 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 every day
For that I got to let you know

()
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

(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

()
You're the first girl that I loved
Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
There's nothing that can replace the love 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
There's nothing that can replace a mother's love, a mother's love

Nobody could ever take the place of a mother
