Mama Knew Love Lyrics - Comin' From Where I'm From - Anthony Hamilton

I know you love me 

I can tell by the way that you kiss me 

Tight when you hug me 

Took me to school the very first day 

Gave me a piece of butterscotch 

Sent me on my way 

I know it's frightening 

I could tell by the pain in your eyes when the rent was late again 

To strong to fold 

Being on your own 

Lord bless her soul, mama knows love 

[Chorus] 

Mama knew love like the back roads 

Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes 

Mom swear you never have to worry again 

Mama knew love like the back streets 

Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet 

Mom swear you never have to worry again 

Up bright and early 

Scrambled eggs 

Swellin' in ya legs 

Bills on the bed 

Still you managed to show me a smile 

Then walk to work about two or three miles 

Mom I'm gonna struggle witcha 

I'm gonna help you see the bigger picture 

You gave me something no one could take away 

You made it so easy to say...I love ya mama 

Mama knew love like the back roads 

Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes 

Mom swear you never have to worry again 

Mama knew love like the back streets 

Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet 

Mom swear you never have to worry again, no no no 

Mama knew love 

She gave me love 

Crazy love 

So much love 

Mama knew love 

She gave me love 

Crazy love 

So much love 

[Chorus: x3]
