Ma ma's got a pr oble m
She do n't know what to say
Her li ttle baby boy
Has just left ho me t oday
She's got to be the lo ser in the end
Sh e's got to be the loser in the end
Mi suse her and you'll los e he r as a friend
Sh e's ma on whom you can always depend o oh
She wa shed and fed a nd c lothed and cared
F or n early twenty years
And al l she gets is "Go odby e Ma"
And the n ight times for her tears
She's got to be the lo ser in the end
Sh e's got to be the loser in the end
Mi suse her and you'll los e he r as a friend
Sh e's ma on whom you can always depend o oh
So listen mothers e v'rywhere
To just one mothers son
Yo u'll get forgotten o n the way
If you don't let them ha ve their fun
Fo rget regrets and ju st remember
It 's not so long since yo u were young
You're bou nd to be the lo ser in the end
You're bo und to be the loser in the end
Th ey'll chose their ne w sh oes
That's not far to bend
Yo u're ma on whom they can always depe nd ooh ...
