The only woman ever loved me was my mama
Though a few of them may think that they do
But I know they don't 'cause they don't know me
They only know the part I play, not the whole truth
The only woman ever loved me was my mama
Though a few of them may think the question through
But I know that they will come to an answer
An answer that I can't accept as truth
The only woman ever loved me was my mama
Though I might talk up a multitude
But I never follow through with all that doing
'Cause I don't want nothing I can lose
Some have professed without meeting me
Some never said much at all
Some seem to downright despise me
And there's one that always calls me in the fall
But the only woman ever loved me was my mama
Though a few of them may think that they do
But I never follow through with all that doing
'Cause I don't want nothing I can lose
