Lee Ann Womack Lyrics

Album: Some Things I Know

The Man Who Made My Mama Cry Lyrics

All you've ever been

Is a call every now and then

From some old pay phone

After you'd hang up

Lord, she'd take it rough

And want to be alone

I know you from the picture

Of you and her together

Taken at a fair in '68

You've gotta lot of nerve to think

You can walk right in and take her place

To me you're just the man who made my mama cry

Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time

All I know about you is how to live without you

And I can see I have your eyes

But all you've ever been

Is the man who made my mama cry

When she took off my training wheels

Held a job and cooked the meals

Where were you?

Don't even start

She did her part

And yours too

Now you're back to play the part

That was missin' in my heart

When I was growin' up

Well, you're a little late

I don't have the time to waste on catchin' up

To me you're just the man who made my mama cry

Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time

All I know about you is how to live without you

And I can see I have your eyes

But all you've ever been

Is the man who made my mama cry

All I know about you is how to live without you

And I can see I have your eyes

But all you've ever been

Is the man who made my mama cry
