Mama,
you're my daddy too. I
have never known a man any stronger than you.
Gave me breakfast every morning
Got me off to school
Then you'd run and
catch the crosstown bus
To go and do your day job
And provide for us
Come home tired and weary
Sometimes barely able
But you always manage to put
Supper on the table
Mama, you're my daddy too
I have never known a man
any stronger than you
Daddy left us long time ago,
before I can recall
Ask me what he's done for me,
nothing at all
We wouldn't recognize each other if
I walked by him on the avenue
Thank
God all dads are not like him,
but then all moms are not like you
People sometimes think
that it's a shame
when they ask me what's my daddy's name
and I say mama my daddy's name is mama
and I say it with a real sense of pride you've
been my doctor been my nurse
Through my better and my worse
You've al ways been by my side
Oh mama, you're my daddy too
I have never known a man
any stronger than you
Gave me wisdom, gave me knowledge,
gave me every tool
Let me know I don't know everything,
but I'm nobody's fool
The main thing that you gave
me was life's golden rule
Taught me how to love somebody
I love you,
Mama, and I'll always
be thankful for you
And I don't ever want a child
of mine to ever have to say
Mama, you're
my daddy too
You're my daddy too
you
