DGoing back to a tender age,
ASo full of confusion and rage,
CDaddy says, Boys, your Mama's gGone.
DThere's a hand on your shoulder as you're throwing dirt,
ASomeone says, Time heals the hurt.
CLittle man, you got to keep on keepin' Gon,
But Dall yAou Dwant Gis DMaAma's Darms.
DYou ride back home in a limosine,
AThe saddest car that you've ever seen,
CYour brother can not look you in the Geye.
DLightning strikes, thunder roars,
AAn early winter in that heart of yours,
CBut you swear you won't let them see you Gcry
'Cause aDll Ayou Dwant Gis DMaAma's aDrms.
DThe neighbors come and bring you pies,
AEndless words and futile sighs,
CAnd you run up to your room and lock the dGoor.
DAnd there you are in your Sunday best,
AThe way your Mama would have had you dressed
CAnd you realize it doesn't matter aGnymore
'Cause Dall Ayou Dwant Gis DMaAma's Garms.
D'Round and 'round and 'round it goes.
AThe seasons change the young boy grows
CTo understand it's all part of some Gplan.
DYou used to wonder what it's all about.
ANow those are questions you can do without.
CYou laugh them off and do the best you Gcan
DAll Ayou Dwant Gis DMaAma's Garms
DAll Ayou Dwant Gis DMaAma's Garms

Going back to a tender age,

So full of confusion and rage,

There's a hand on your shoulder as you're throwing dirt,

Someone says, Time heals the hurt.

C G

Little man, you got to keep on keepin' on,

D A D G D A D

But all you want is Mama's arms.

You ride back home in a limosine,

The saddest car that you've ever seen,

Your brother can not look you in the eye.

Lightning strikes, thunder roars,

An early winter in that heart of yours,

C G

But you swear you won't let them see you cry

'Cause all you want is Mama's arms.

The neighbors come and bring you pies,

Endless words and futile sighs,

And you run up to your room and lock the door.

And there you are in your Sunday best,

The way your Mama would have had you dressed

C G

And you realize it doesn't matter anymore

D A D G D A G

'Cause all you want is Mama's arms.

'Round and 'round and 'round it goes.

The seasons change the young boy grows

To understand it's all part of some plan.

You used to wonder what it's all about.

Now those are questions you can do without.

C G

You laugh them off and do the best you can

All you want is Mama's arms

All you want is Mama's arms
