"Mamas" lyrics - ANNE WILSON
[Verse 1: Anne Wilson]
I don't know why God made one-bedroom apartments out of state
I don't know why He made hometowns if it's somewhere I can't stay
I don't know why He made growing up but I guess that we're all gonna
Yeah, I don't know a lot of things but I know why God made mamas
[Chorus: Anne Wilson]
For the open arms to fall into
For the when you don't know what to do
For the phone call sayin', "Don't forget, I'm always in your corner"
For the heart that makes a house a home
For the knowing that you're not alone
For the "Darling, don't you dare give up even when you wanna"
Yeah, that's why God made mamas
[Verse 2: Anne Wilson]
For putting band-aids on a scraped up knee and wiping tears away
For picking up the pieces when that dream don't go your way
For always giving more than taking, always knowing what ya need
And showing you that fighting's always best done on your knees
[Chorus: Anne Wilson]
For the open arms to fall into
For the when you don't know what to do
For the phone call sayin', "Don't forget, I'm always in your corner"
For the heart that makes a house a home
For the knowing that you're not alone
For the "Darling, don't you dare give up even when you wanna"
Yeah, that's why God made mamas
[Post-Chorus: Anne Wilson & Hillary Scott]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Mamas, mamas
[Bridge: Anne Wilson & Hillary Scott]
I don't know why God made living life down here so hard to do
But I know why God made mamas 'cause He knew I needed you
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Chorus: Anne Wilson & Hillary Scott]
For the open arms to fall into (To fall into)
For the when you don't know what to do (Know what to do)
For the phone call sayin', "Don't forget, I'm always in your corner"
(I'm always in your corner)
For the heart that makes a house a home
For the knowing that you're not alone (Not alone)
For the "Darling, don't you dare give up even when you wanna"
Yeah, that's why God made mamas (Mamas)
[Post-Chorus: Anne Wilson]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Mamas)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Mamas)
(Mamas)
Mm-mm-mm (Mamas)
