It's Her Turn To Live

Mama raised us all her life

And now it's her turn to live, yeah

Mama gave us everything, boy

Now it's our turn to give

Little brother

Brother, don't you know?

You got the best mother

That the world has ever known

Worked her fingers to the bone

Now you're almost grown

And out on your own

She got the right to be left alone

I'm twenty, you're sixteen

And, brother, that's a-plenty

'Cause when I came on the scene

Mama was only seventeen

So she's still a young woman

If you know what I mean

She got the right

To the man of her dreams, yeah

(Talkin' 'bout mama)

She got the right

To the man of her dreams

Say it again, now

She got the right

To the man of her dreams, oh...

Mama raised us all her life

And now it's her turn to live

Her turn to live

Ooh, mama raised us all her life, oh...

And now it's her turn to live

Oh, brother, now

Mama gave us everything, boy

And now it's you're turn to give

Well, well, well

He loves our mama, loves mama

Mama loves him

And that could never harm her

But what hurts her is when a man comes in

(Yeah)

You know, give him a chance to be your friend

She got the right to be loved again

Talkin' about mama

She got the right to be loved again

She got the right to be loved again

Mama raised us all her life

Now it's her turn to live

(Her turn to live)

Ooh, brother, now

Mama gave us everything

Now it's our turn to give

Her turn to live

And our turn to give

Her turn to live

And our turn to give

Mama got the right

Mama got the right

Mama got the right

Mama got the right to live now
