I Loved Being My Mother's Son - Purple Mountains

Way back when it first begun

Starting when I first was young

Through all the years that were to come

I loved being my mother’s son

Yeah, I loved being my mother’s son

I loved her so because

She was so good and kind to me

She was, she was, she was

She helped me walk, she watched me run

She got where I was coming from

And when I couldn’t count my friends on a single thumb

I loved her to the maximum

Yeah, I loved being my mother’s son

I loved her so because

She was so kind and genuine

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

When she was gone, I was overcome

The simple fact left me stunned

I wasn’t done being my mother’s son

Only now am I seeing that being’s done

Yeah, I loved being my mother’s son

I loved her so because

She was my faithful guardian

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was

(She was, she was, she was)

(She was, she was, she was)

(She was, she was, she was)

(She was, she was, she was)
