Mama, oh Mama I found that girl Mama, oh Mama I found that girl
Mama, life for me now Is a new sensation Just like you said it would be With the right situation Now love has a meaning And I have a goal This feeling inside me now Makes yesterday a hundred years old Now I understand What it is to be a man The way you explained it to me that day You said only the right girl Can make me feel this way
Mama, I think I found that girl Yeah, Mama, I think I found that girl
Mama, she’s that beautiful dream That I dream each night She’s that bird of love On whose wings I’m in flight She’s those words left When there’s no more to say She’s my sunshine At the end of a perfect day
All this lets me find a reason to be alive That day when you set me upon your knee You said only the right girl Could be all these things
Mama, I think I found that girl Yeah, Mama I think I found that girl
You said, “Son, go on and search around There’s a good girl whose out there to be found” And Mama I think I found that girl Yeah, Mama I think I found that girl
