Charles, Charles
He got in, we should tell him
Let's tell him
Hey, man
Charles, Charles, Charles
You got accepted to Grambling (Hey!)
Right here, practically next door
But, mama, I wanna go north
They've given you a full scholarship, Charles
Isn't that wonderful? (Yes)
A college education for free
Charles Baby, youngest of five
A full ride, bro, what you gon' do?
You know, I'm goin' back to school too
Get my teaching degree
It's been a dream for so long
With you boys gone I'm gon' make it reality
That's great, ma
'Bout time you did something for you
If you was home, we could study together
Don't know what I'm gon' do without you
You always been close enough to trip over
Grambling's right up the street, ma
I couldn't be closer and still in college
I'll come home on Sunday to do my laundry
I know, but still
I almost don't want you to go
You didn't want me to go to kindergarten, either
You always been my baby, more boy than man
I'm a man now
Yeah, I heard from your brothers
But the world can still be cruel
You think I don't know that, mama?
I don't want your gun
To keep you safe, just in case, Charles
I'm fine, mama
Mama, stop
Love with a laugh only goes so far
Sometime I just want it straight
Plain and somber, fragile and naked
Just three words, I love you
No question
Charles Baby, youngest of five
The neighborhood baby, sweet as pecan pie
Not just your baby, our baby too
Can't believe we're saying goodbye to you
Can't believe we're saying goodbye to you
Goodbye, we'll see you soon
Goodbye, we'll see you soon
