Mama Said

1. I couldn't sleep last night
There was somethin' on my mind
I lay there wishin' in the dark
Someone could tell me why
If you love somebody
from the bottom of your heart
Why do you hurt each other
How does it fall apart?

An' then I heard a voice
as she sat down on my bed
And I can still remember
The words my mama said.

[Chorus:]
Love can give, love can take
Love can bend and love can break
When you think it's over, it's not the end
Don't give in, just be strong
And please remember son, my mama said
There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend.

2. My mama said, no one knows
What your life has got in store
You may go walking on the moon
You may be rich or poor
But I know for certain
If you try to reach the stars
Anything is possible
Your dreams are what you are.

But when it comes to matters of the heart
There is no guarantees
All that I can say to you
Is what my mama said to me.

[Bridge:]
So one day in my lifetime
When my world falls apart
I won't cry, I'll just tell my heart
My heart.

[Coda:]
Love can give, love can take
Love can bend and love can break
When you think it's over, it's not the end
Don't give in, just be strong
And please remember son, my mama said
There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend
There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend.
