i was in love with you
and gave my heart to you
i did my best to keep you satisfied
you took the love from me
and used it selfishly
you did not give back your
love to me at all

i gave the sun to you
you said it was too bright
i gave you diamond rings
you said they didn’t shine
i gave my world to you
but you said it’s not enough
what in the world could i have done
to make you be so rough

‘til you do me right
i don’t even want to talk to you
i don’t even want to hear you speak my name
‘til you do me right
only wrong is gonna come to you
nothin’ good is gonna come ‘til you change
change your ways
until you change your evil ways

girl i was there for you
someone you could talk to
how could you just keep breakin’ my heart
what did i do to you
to make you be so cruel
i don’t understand why you’ve been so wrong

i tried to be your strength
you said i was too strong
i tried to compromise so
we could get along
i gave my love to you despite
your evil ways
i guess it’s clear to me there’s only
one thing left to say

hook

there’s a time when you know what you
feel inside your heart
it’s tellin’ you that somethin’ feels strange
you don’t have to deny it
all you gotta do is just try it
you’ll find our love grows
stronger if you’re willing to change

i believe that a woman
is the most precious thing on earth
and i’ll do anything
and i do mean anything
to stop my baby
from ever being hurt

well it might seem kinda crazy to ya
somewhat outta style

i’m just a bit old-fashioned
and i can’t help
livin’ that way
i’m just a bit old-fashioned
and i can’t help
livin’ that way

i’ll go and work
my fingers to the bone
and i’ll work overtime
so she can have a home
and i’ll do anything
and i do mean anything
don’t want my baby
to hurt for a thing

well that might sound kinda crazy to ya
somewhat outta style

hook

oh baby
that’s the only way that i’ll ever be
forever dedicated to thee
one girl is all i ever will need
loving you forever indeed
my whole damn life is you
and i would die for you
i might sound crazy
but the only thing important is you
i love you

every night before i sleep
i thank the lord for givin’ me
another day
so i can be with you
’cause i ain’t never seen a face
so beautiful in every way
i can’t believe that i’m here with you
and i cry

’cause i - i’m so in love
’cause you don’t know what it means to me
to finally find someone
i was searchin’for the perfect girl
the woman of my dreams
and now she is in love with me

and even though i’ve been around the world
never did i find a girl
that makes me feel the way you know you do
and even though love has been kind to me
never did i dream
i would find me a girl like you

when i am makin’ love to you
i call your name that’s what i do
so you won’t have no reservations
that you’re the only only one for me
my heart is yours and girl that is for eternity
you know we make the perfect combination
and i cry

’cause i - i can’t believe
’cause you just don’t know the half of it
or what it means to me
to have finally found the perfect girl
the angel of my dreams
and now she is in love with me

hook

you’re only the best thing girl
that ever happened in my life
you are my angel
the angel and the apple of my eye

you taught me everything
and everything you’ve given me
i always keep it inside
you’re the driving force in my life, yeah
there isn’t anything
or anyone i can be
and it just wouldn’t feel right
if i didn’t have you by my side

you were there for me to love and care for me
when skies were grey
whenever i was down
you were always there to comfort me
and no one else can be what you have been to me
you’ll always be you always will be the girl
in my life for all times

mama, mama you know i love you
oh you know i love you
mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
your love is like
tears from the stars
mama, i just want you to know
lovin’ you is like food to my soul

you’re always down for me
have always been around for me even when i was bad
you showed me right from my wrong
yes you did
and you took up for me
when everyone was downin’ me
you always did understand
you gave me strength to go on

there was so many times
looking back when i was so afraid
and then you come to me
and say to me i can face anything
and no one else can do
what you have done for me
you’ll always be
you will always be the girl in my life

un canción por mamá
(spanish)

me diste todo
y mas que todo me ensenaste tu
te llevo dentro de mi
y tu fuerza me hace vivir, si
cuando a mi lado
no te siento ya no se quien soy
ni se lo que voy a hacer
todo sin ti me sale mal

tu estuviste alli
en cada nube gris
cuidandome
y si una vez cai
tu estuviste alli
alzandome
que nadie sabe amar nadie puede dar
un carino asi
y por siempre el gran amor
de mi vida eres tu

mama
mama te queiero tanto
te quiero tanto tu sabes cuanto
mama
reina de mi vida eres tu
ll uvia de una estrella es tu luz
cuando estamos juntos los dos
solo me alimenta tu amor

conmigo siempre tanto al frente como tras de mi
y si algo hice mal
tu perdonaste mi error
siempre asi
y cuando otros me fallaron, me enganaron, tu
me llegaste a salvar
a darme fuerza interior

a veces miro atras
y alli mismo estas
hablandome
me dices ten valor
y ya
asi todo esta bien
yo se que otra igual
yo nunca encontrare
ya nunuca mas
pues el gran amor
solo tu lo das

coro

no puedo estar un dia sin ti
y sin ti no puedo ser feliz
no puedo estar ni un dia sin mi mama

coro
