Lyrics
I’ve got one real friend more than a friend I find
The way I feel friend, she’s all of this heart of mine
I’m all for her I know she’ll always be for me
I’m on my way friend, I’m going home to see
My mom, I love her
My mom, you’d love her
Who wouldn’t love her, my mom
That sweet somebody, thinks I’m somebody
My pal, my buddy, my mom
Anything I do she’s my only inspiration
Anytime I’m blue she’s my only consolation
As years come on her
I gaze upon her
She’s my Madonna
My mom
My pal, my buddy, my mom
Yes, anything I do she’s my only inspiration
Anytime I’m blue she’s my only consolation
As years come on her
I gaze upon her
She’s my Madonna
My mom
