INTRO: I know that I surprised you coming home It's not my usual time of year But I've got myself a problem And I know that I might find the answer here Remember when I was dad's pride and joy And your little man Everytime that I got hurt You were there to give a hand Even pick me up And you'd kiss my hurt away Remember what she'd say Boy you're getting more like him each and every day Can we have a talk like it was yesterday Your boy's back in trouble and he needs you right away She said she's gonna leave me mama And nothing on God's green Earth will make her stay I can't live without her mama But this time you can't kiss the hurt away But if I'm so much like my dad There must have been times you felt her way So tell me word for word what he said That always made you stay SOLO: She said she's gonna leave me mama But if I'm so much like my dad There must have been times you felt her way So tell me word for word what he said That always made you stay (repeat and fade)
