All you've ever been Is a call every now and then From some old pay phone After you'd hang up Lord, she'd take it rough And want to be alone I know you from the picture Of you and her together Taken at a fair in '68 You've gotta lot of nerve to think You can walk right in and take her place
To me you're just the man who made my mama cry Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time All I know about you is how to live without you And I can see I have your eyes But all you've ever been Is the man who made my mama cry
When she took off my training wheels Held a job and cooked the meals Where were you? Don't even start She did her part And yours too Now you're back to play the part That was missin' in my heart When I was growin' up Well, you're a little late I don't have the time to waste on catchin' up
To me you're just the man who made my mama cry Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time All I know about you is how to live without you And I can see I have your eyes But all you've ever been Is the man who made my mama cry
All I know about you is how to live without you And I can see I have your eyes But all you've ever been
