Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights When you sit and you think about Father Or how you tried to be the perfect wife You used to dress and fix your hair Then you smiled through your tears In the mirror you would stare And say a prayer Like, "I wish he said I'm beautiful I wish it didn't hurt at all I don't know how I got here I was once the one who had his heart" Until you had enough and you took that ring off You took that ring off So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying Took that ring off Oh, now the fun begins Dust yourself off and you love again You found a new man now you shine and you're fine Like it's my time, you took that ring off Mama (so sexy), you live and learn, that's just the way life goes (Uh, you a killer, you a killer, killer) Always know that you've got a daughter That's so, so proud you took the high road (You a killer, so sexy) You used to dress and fix your hair You'd always smile through your tears In the mirror you would stare And say a prayer Like, "I wish he said I'm beautiful I wish it didn't hurt at all I don't know how I got here I was once the one who had his heart" And then you had enough and you took that ring off You took that ring off So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying Took that ring off Oh, now the fun begins Dust yourself off and you love again You found a new man now you shine and you're fine Like it's my time, you took that ring off After all your tears After all that pain's all clear Mama, after all them years We can start all over again Mama, and now it all makes sense Letting go is never the end Mama, we can love again This is where freedom begins Mama, so put your love on top You gon' shine and put your love on top It's your time to put your love on top Everybody put your love on top Aye, love on top Aye, love on top It's your time to put your love on top Girl you so fine, put your love on top
