Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights When you sit and you think about Father Or how you tried to be the perfect wife
You used to dress and fix your hair Then you smiled through your tears In the mirror, you would stare And say a prayer Like I wish he said I'm beautiful I wish it didn't hurt at all I don't know how I got here I was once the one who had his heart
Until you had enough, then you took that ring off You took that ring off So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying Took that ring off Oh, now the fun begins Dust yourself off and you love again You found a new man now you shine, and you're fine Like it's my time, you took that ring off
Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes (Uh, you a killer, you a killer, killer) Always know that you've got a daughter That's so, so proud you took the high road (You a killer) you so sexy
You used to dress and fix your hair You'd always smiled through your tears And in the mirror you would stare And say a prayer Like I wish he said I'm beautiful I wish it didn't hurt at all I don't know how I got here I was once the one who had his heart
And then had enough, and you took that ring off You took that ring off So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying Took that ring off Oh, now the fun begins Dust yourself off and you love again You found a new man, now you shine, and you're fine Like it's my time, you took that ring off
Now after all your tears After all that pain's all clear, mama After all them years We can start all over again, mama And now it all makes sense Letting go is never the end, mama We can love again This is where freedom begins, mama
So put your love on top Keep on shinin', put your love on top It's your time to put your love on top Everybody, put your love on top
Aye, love on top Aye, love on top It's your time to put your love on top Girl, you so fine, put your love on top
If you're going through it, just know it's called "Going through it" You're not gonna get stuck there, you're not gonna die You're gonna survive
