Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Debra Winger, & Both] When we met, I was younger than a young thing can be You were wet, you were hungry, you still needed me You said I could fly and I flew I remember before you knew how You taught me to talk Now I talk like you do You taught me to see Not to see, but to really look deeper like you do I already knew you'd Leave me someday with no cure for the love that I had from the moment I heard your And from my first word Mama You shaped the boy I'd become But the boy disappеared Lost to the years And thе man you became is a beautiful one Every bit still the same, every bit still my son [Chorus: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Debra Winger, & Both] But, oh, here we go with our words and the battle's begun And when the dust settles, I'm sick as I see what I've done If I could just tell you that you more than deserve those three little words I can't find There is no other one You are my mother, you are my son You are mine [Verse 2: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Debra Winger, & Both] At times, you rile me up just a little bit more than most do You get on my nerves, and I'm sure that I get on yours, surely we both do Aren't we supposed to Say what we're feeling?
