Had you taught me lovin'
I'd know where to start
But Momma, Momma, Momma
You sent me off to get a broken heart
Now your baby can't love right
Momma, Momma, Momma!
Your boy can't love right
All I've known is things that you do
If I wind up all alone
I'd be just like you
Oh! Momma, Momma, Momma
I can't pull it together
Something's in the way
What do you say to make it better
Deep down
Oh! Deep down I'm full of riddance
I hope my lovers find forgiveness
Oh! I hate I'd admit this
But, Momma, Momma, Momma
I can't love no woman
Momma, Momma, Momma
And they can't love this man
They say I don't love right
Momma, Momma, Momma
Does it mean I can't love right
