[Verse 1]

Hey, Mama

It's me, your oldest son

Not the one who still believes

That one day you won't be on the run

And I, I won't take too much time from you

I just wanted to tell you I'm alive and doing fine

So how are you?

[Verse 2]

Hey, Mama

It's me, your oldest son

You kissed me on the head

And left me out for dead when I was only one

I won't take up too much time

I just wanted to tell you I'm alive and doing fine

I'm not looking for your money or even a hug

[Chorus]

I've never known your love

Never known your love

And I don't want your love

I don't need your love

[Bridge]

'Cause I'm doing fine here, the best that I can

I stand on my own, I stand alone, and I stand like a man

And maybe you just, you just didn't care, but that's okay

There's always tomorrow, or some other day

[Chorus]

I've never known your love

And I don't want your love

And I don't need your love

I don't want your love
