Lyrics:

Girl, now don't you know it's wrong
To depend on someone else to do those things that you won't do
For yourself

Lessons I've learned have changed the man I was,
To step light but with caution because the road is raw.

Mama used to say:
"Boy don't run away from your problems,
And if you face them you will see,
You'll always find a way to solve them.
I will always be there for you,
I will be by your side.
Only one thing I ask of you:
From your fears do not hide."

Girl, I waited for too long,
I've given all I can,
Can you understand this man I will share with you

Lessons I've learned have changed the man I was,
To step light but with caution because the road is raw.

Mama used to say:
"Boy don't run away from your problems,
And if you face them you will see,
You'll always find a way to solve them.
I will always be there for you,
I will be by your side (believe me).
Only one thing I ask of you:
From your fears do not hide."

Mama used to say:
"Boy don't run away from your problems."
