When
we were young
Playing Super Mario an
d Space Invaders
Mama was alone
holding all the weight on
her shoulders
Remember when we used to build ramps
out of junk wood
Backwoods, the back roads
through the neighborhood
I used to wonder why mama cried
I used to feel the pain in side
Then you brought us to the brighter side
And you showed me
what it looked like to provide
You showed me the door
and I walked through
Cause mommy, mommy looks good on you
I said mommy,
mommy looks good on you
Cause you're a hard working mama,
a dang fine woman
Mommy looks good on you
You're a real good lady
The one that raised me to be the
man that you dreamed that I could
I found a girl
Used to take a change to
the laundromat
Watch TV in the corner
Never knowing what it said
And now we have our own
And nothing's changed, I guess
In the living room folding laundry
while the kids make a mess
I used to dream of a girl with
hair bright as gold
And mama told me to take
care of my mama
Teach my kids what it means to be bold
When I see you I know what it means
to be the best thing, mama
I'm proud the kids know it
Cause one day they will look back at you
And say, Mommy,
Mommy looks good on you
Yeah, Mommy,
Mommy looks good on you
You're a hard -working momma,
a dang fine woman
Mommy looks good on you
Reminded me, baby,
the kids that we're raising
Will be the ones that make
our dreams come true
Cause mommy, mommy looks good on you
I said, Mommy, Mommy loves good on you
