Bella Garland - Mama Raised Me

I'm almost grown up
And I swear when I grow up
I'm gonna be just like her
Love just like her
My mama grew up
Outside of Memphis Tennessee
She taught me makeup
And how to be kind to every single person that I meet
She's got a big heart
A spot carved out saved just for me
Yeah when she falls apart
She never ever lets anybody ever ever see
And she held me close when my heart broke for the first time
She said you might not be his whole world, but you are mine
My mama raised me
To be the best that I can be
A real strong lady
Who knows exactly what she needs
And what she deserves
And she's the one who told me I should write these songs
And mama's never ever ever ever wrong
My mama raised me
To know a boy from a man
She never blames me
Even when I don't understand
The very first time
And she's the one who told me I should play my soul
And tell the stories that aren't easy being told
My mama raised me
To be the best that I can be
A real strong lady
Who knows exactly what she needs
And what she deserves
And my mama held me
When all my colors turned to grey
She whispered to me
You're gonna fall in love someday
With someone who knows your worth
And she's the one who told me I should write these songs
And mama's never ever ever ever wrong
And when I grow up I hope my kids understand
That it's love that ends wars and it's holding someone's hand
And when I grow up I hope my girls know their worth
Like my mama
Knows hers
My mama raised me
To be the best that I can be
A real strong lady
Who knows exactly what she needs
And what she deserves
And my mama raised me
My mama raised me
I'm almost grown up
And I swear when I grow up
I'm gonna be just like her
Love just like her
I'm almost grown up
And I swear when I grow up
I'm gonna be just like her
Love just like her yeah mmm
I'm almost grown up
And I swear when I grow up
I'm gonna be just like her
Love just like her
