Mama's got a problem She don't know what to say Her little baby boy       Has just left home today She's got to be the loser in the end       She's got to be the loser in the end Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend      She's ma on whom you can always depend ooh   She washed and fed and clothed and cared For nearly twenty years And all she gets is "Goodbye Ma" And the night times for her tears She's got to be the loser in the end       She's got to be the loser in the end Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend      She's ma on whom you can always depend ooh       So listen mothers ev'rywhere To just one mothers son You'll get forgotten on the way If you don't let them have their fun Forget regrets and just remember It's not so long since you were young You're bound to be the loser in the end       You're bound to be the loser in the end They'll chose their new shoes That's not far to bend      You're ma on whom they can always depend ooh
