Mama's got a problem She don't know what to say
Her little baby boy, has just left home today
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's ma on whom you can always depend

She washed and fed and clothed and cared
For nearly twenty years
And all she gets is 'Goodbye Ma'
And the night times for her tears
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's ma on whom you can always depend

So listen mothers everywhere, to just one mothers son
You'll get forgotten on the way, if you don't let them have their fun
Forget regrets and just remember, it's not so long since you were young
You're bound to be the loser in the end, You're bound to be the loser in the end
They'll chose their new shoes, that's not far to bend
You're ma on whom they can always depend
