[Verse 1]

Son of mine, the chill is nice to be together

After all the years we've been apart

Now a new life begins

It's time to make amends

And bring back some good times

We used to share back when


[Chorus]

Oh, Mama should be here too

Mama should be here too


[Verse 2]

Son of mine, things are going fine for us now

No more sounds of hard knocks at the door

But I feel guilty in spite (In spite)

That there's still you and I (You and I)

'Cause one thing is missing

That makes both our lives


[Chorus]

Oh, Mama should be here too

Mama should be here too, ooh


[Verse 3]

Happy times (Happy times) run through my mind (Run through my mind)

Then we had each other

You and me and she made three

Our family was together

Now time has brought us back again

To pick up where we left off

Happy and live (Happy and live), but still I cry (Still I cry)

'Cause time ain't all we've lost


[Chorus]

Woah, Mama should be here too

Mama should be here too


[Outro]

Mama should be here too
