Rick James - Mamas Eyes Lyrics

Rick's inspiration has always been his mother, Betty"
"Because I guess kids were so small at that time, sixth kid"

Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes

Ever since the first day that I heard my mother cry
I knew right then and there what the feeling was like to die
'Cause something deep inside me was tearing my heart in two
I didn't understand what my mama was going through
I didn't understand, with no man, she felt all alone
A family didn't ride, in that time was no house or home
She took it to the streets on the beats and she fed us well
And now I'm here to say that today we're all doing swell

Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes (Yeah)

My mama lived alone on the day that she finally died
The eight of us were there as the tears fell down from our eyes
The cancer in her body had finally won the war
She didn't wanna go but in Heaven there's so much more
So every day you live, try and give your mama all your love
You'll never know the day when she'll be called by God above
And if you want the truth, you will find that there's no disguise
'Cause all you got to do is look deep in your mother's eyes

Oh mother dear, I miss you
I miss your warm and tender smile
It's so hard to live without you

Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes (Yeah)
Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes
Mama's eyes

Listen when your mama calls
Listen when your mama calls
Listen when your mama calls
Listen when your mama calls
Mama, yeah; mama, yeah
Mama, yeah; mama, yeah
