Thread Name: Lyr Help: Title & singer unknown-I'm sorry Mama???
Subject: Lyr Help: Title & singer unknown
Can anyone identify this song and name of the artist?
Lyrics are guess-timates in places...

When I was a little boy,
came home crying from school

My first love broke my heart in two
Mama would ____bring me toys to ease the pain

Then as I grew it was more of the same
keeping my heart happy was a full time thing

I can still hear Mama saying,
"Boy, what am I gonna do with you."

I went for all the crazes of my days
Got a tattoo and an earring,

had to show my ways _________,
I had to look like all the rest

If I had not met that girl
in a 3-piece business suit
______ain't she cute

I'd still be a rebel-rouser
with a mixed-up point of view

I spent all of my time thinking of myself
Coming in at all hours,

not a prayer for something else
I'm sorry, Mama, for what I put you through

If I could change the past,
that's just what I'd do

'Cause I never remember saying,
Mama, just how much I love you

As I stare at these old pictures,
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
