All you've ever been  Is a call every now and then  From some old pay phone  After you'd hang up  Lord, she'd take it rough  And want to be alone  I know you from the picture  Of you and her together  Taken at a fair in '68  You've gotta lot of nerve to think  You can walk right in and take her place    To me you're just the man who made my mama cry  Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time  All I know about you is how to live without you  And I can see I have your eyes  But all you've ever been  Is the man who made my mama cry    When she took off my training wheels  Held a job and cooked the meals  Where were you?  Don't even start  She did her part  And yours too  Now you're back to play the part  That was missin' in my heart  When I was growin' up  Well, you're a little late  I don't have the time to waste on catchin' up    To me you're just the man who made my mama cry  Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time  All I know about you is how to live without you  And I can see I have your eyes  But all you've ever been  Is the man who made my mama cry    All I know about you is how to live without you  And I can see I have your eyes  But all you've ever been  Is the man who made my mama cry
