Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like Tears from the stars

Lovin’ you is like food to my soul

They say I’m different because I’m a piece of sugar cane
Sweet to the core
That’s right, I got rhythm.
My great-grandma didn’t like to fox trot,
instead she spitted snuff and boogied down.
Mmh, sophisticated mama Uuh!
Come on, you disco Lady, yeah
Stay with me tonight, mama
If you hear any noise, it ain’t the boys
It’s a Ladies Night, ah-ha
I’m every woman
it’s all in me
anything you want done, baby
I’ll do it naturally.
I’m ev’ry woman
it’s all in meI can read your thoughts right now
everyone from A to Z.
Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and shout.
You can say what you want,
I’m not walkin’ out.
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike, and kill.
I’m not gonna leave you,
There’s no way I will.

Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said,
“Lauryn, baby use your head”
But instead I chose to use my heart
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain’t afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can’t deny a woman’s worth
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma’s hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma’s hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
“Baby, Grandma understands”
