(mmm-mmm) Mama, there’s something I gotta tell you,
Something I can’t keep inside,
There’s this boy who makes me smile
Every time he walks by.
I don’t know when it started,
I don’t know how it grew,
But somehow every little thought
Always leads me back to you.
I see him in my dreams at night,
I think about him through the day,
Mama, I think I’m falling
And I don’t know what to say.
Mama, I love him,
I can’t get him off my mind,
He’s the first thought in the morning
And the last one every night.
Mama, I love him,
I don’t know if he knows,
But every time he smiles at me,
My heart just overflows.
Maybe I’m dreaming,
Maybe someday he’ll see,
But Mama, I love him,
And he means so much to me.
Mama, I catch myself smiling
When someone says his name,
And every little memory
Just keeps playing back again.
I wonder if he thinks of me
When the stars come out at night,
Or if I’m the only one
Who feels this way inside.
I try to keep it hidden,
But my heart gives me away,
I think I’ve fallen deeper
With every passing day.
Maybe one day he’ll understand
The feelings I can’t hide,
Maybe he’ll look into my eyes
And feel the same inside.
But until I know for certain,
I’ll keep this little dream,
Because falling for somebody
Feels sweeter than it seems.
Mama, I love him,
I can’t get him off my mind,
He’s the thought that makes me smile Every single time.
Mama, I love him,
And I hope that someday soon,
He’ll look at me and realize I’ve been thinking about him too.
Maybe I’m dreaming, But my heart says it’s true,
Mama, I love him… And I don’t know what I’d do Without
this feeling
That brought me to you. (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mama, I love him... (hmm-mmm-mmm)
