Mama's got a problem she don't know what to say

Her little baby boy, has just left home today

She's got to be the loser in the end

She's got to be the loser in the end

Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend

She's ma on whom you can always depend

She washed and fed and clothed and cared

For nearly twenty years

And all she gets is 'goodbye ma'

And the night times for her tears

She's got to be the loser in the end

She's got to be the loser in the end

Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend

She's ma on whom you can always depend

So listen mothers everywhere, to just one mothers son

You'll get forgotten on the way, if you don't let them have their fun

Forget regrets and just remember, it's not so long since you were young

You're bound to be the loser in the end, you're bound to be the loser in the end

They'll chose their new shoes, that's not far to bend

You're ma on whom they can always depend
