Lyrics

Oh Mama, it's hurtin even worse

Love is such a blessing and love is such a curse

Startin is so easy, partin is a pain

Always gettin this heart involved will drive me insane

1. Oh Mama, I never seem to learn

You told me more than once how much a soul can burn

But standin by the fire's heat felt so good

I burned myself just like you knew I would

2. Everyone I know has had a hurt or two

Some cannot recover; most pretend they do

We get knocked over, come back for more -

Tell me, do you think that's what a heart is for?

3. When the end comes, you know it hurts so bad

But I try to keep in mind the beauty that I had

Mama, I inherited this heart from you

And now that I've got it, tell me what to do
