Your Mother Called On Me Today

Lyrics

[Intro] Your mother called on me today To have a heart-to-heart I took her coat and rested it And we sat down to start And then she said [Verse 1] He's my son My one and only boy All I want for him is Happiness and joy That's why (That's why) I came to see you today (Today, today) [Verse 2] He has no time for love I'm sending him to school He's going to be a doctor Not just some lovesick fool That's why (That's why) You'd only be in his way (You'd only be in his way) [Bridge] She said his father worked his fingers Right down to the bone So one day our son might have An office of his own With his name (His name) In gold letters (Engraved) Engraved on the door But sincе you came along He don't study no more [Verse 3] I sat thеre and I cried (Ooh, I cried) I knew that she was right I said, "Don't you know I've tried Tried with all my might So please, oh, please Try to understand" (Please, please) "I know that he's your son (He's your son) Your one and only boy But he's my man He's my man"
