Mama, Mama, you know how it feels   Love never knows a season   Mama, tell me you understand   The heart always has a reason      Doin' ninety-five in the middle of the night on an open road   Time for a good ol' girl like me to be bedded down   Gotta get home before the kids find out I've been away   I figure I'm gonna reach town just before dawn      I can see the sun is gonna be comin' up real soon   Hope the children don't wake up and wonder where I am   Gotta get the older ones to school and play with the baby   She's the apple of her mother's eye, and doesn't she know it      Don't know how it happened one more time   The money's running' out and the other kids are cryin'   Somebody tell me I'm not crazy   Doin' what I can to raise my babies      Mama, Mama, you know how it feels   Love never knows a season   Mama, tell me you understand   The heart always has a reason      Wonder if you know just how it feels to be alone   Tryin' to raise a bunch of kids on nothin' but love and guts   When the day is over I'm about as wrecked as a body can be   I got my troubles, but again I need me some kind of lovin'      Don't know how it happened one more time   The money's runnin' out and the other kids are cryin'   Somebody tell me I'm not crazy   Doin' what I can to raise my babies      Mama, Mama, you know how it feels   Love never knows a season   Mama, tell me you understand   The heart always has a reason      The doctor down in Lincoln said I'd be all right   He said he didn't want to help me but he'd do it just this once   Made me feel so bad I couldn't stop the tears from fallin'   Made me wish he had to pay this kind of price for his lovin'      Don't know how it happened one more time   The money's runnin' out and the other kids are cryin'   Five kids are gonna drive me crazy   Lord, I can't have another baby      Mama, Mama, you know how it feels   Love never knows a season   Mama, tell me you understand   The heart always has a reason
