Mama Was Daddy Too Lyrics by Latrelle

Dirty Girl, Wrong Girl, Bad Girl [Promo]

2002

[Intro]
Ohh oh
Oooh ohhh
[Verse 1]
I remember like it was yesterday
When you decided to leave home and leave your family
I still don't know why or understand
What could I do so wrong?
Why were you leaving me?
Graduations came and went (Ohh)
Hard times, money spent
Birthdays and holidays ran by
You weren't there, how I cried
What did I do to deserve
Not a call, not a word?
But it's okay, cause I'm going on anyway, yeah
[Chorus]
Mama was mama and she was daddy too (Mama was daddy too)
Under these tears, I had an attitude (Had an attitude)
All of thesе years, I was so mad at you (Mad at you)
It's alright, cause I've movеd on with my life
[Verse 2]
How could you see your baby girl and not speak?
Cause your new wife don't like me
You know you're dead wrong daddy
Every Sunday, going to church
Seeing you there made it worse
There is no room for your mistakes
When selfishness was the case
For every tear that fell (For every tear)
There's a story I could tell (There's a story I could tell)
For every promise you broke (You broke)
Her love's what's kept me whole
For every moment you missed, she said it would be okay
Got me through another day (Got me through another day)
[Chorus]
Mama was mama and she was daddy too (Mama was daddy too)
Under these tears, I had an attitude (I had an attitude)
All of these years, I was so mad at you (Oh, mad at you)
It's alright, cause I've moved on with my life
[Refrain]
I'm holdin' it down, like I should (Like I should)
A fatherless child, doin' good (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mama told me to be strong, so I'm holdin' on
Holdin' on, ohh ooh, sing, yeah
I'm holdin' it down, like I should (Like I should)
A fatherless child, doin' good (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mama told me to be strong, so I'm holdin' on (I'm holdin' on)
Holdin' on, ohh ooh, said I'm holdin' on
[Chorus]
Mama was mama and she was daddy too
Daddy you wasn't there
Under these tears, I had an attitude (So tell me why I should care)
All of these years, I was so mad at you (I was so mad)
It's alright, cause I've moved on with my life
Mama was mama and she was daddy too (No guilty from daddy)
Under these tears, I had an attitude (How could you leave us?)
All of these years, I was so mad at you (I was so mad at you)
It's alright, cause I've moved on with my life (Tell me why?)
With my life
Mama was mama and she was daddy too
You promised me, that you'd be there
Under these tears, I had an attitude (Where were you? Where?)
All of these years, I was so mad at you
How could you do this to me?
It's alright, cause I've moved on with my life
Mama was daddy too
