My mama told me, the old sayin' is
If there's a will, son there's got to be a way na, na
Mama, I got the will but I can't find my way, now, no, no
Let me tell you, man

A girl I used to love but she left me
I tried to get her back, she won't accept me, no
But I got the will now, I can't find the way now, no, no

This is what she told me now
You got the will, son, you got the power now
You got everything, Lord have mercy now

Every second, baby, every minute, honey
And every hour I'm always thinkin' of you now
Mama, I got the will but I can't find my way now, no, no

You know I need you babe, oh, I really love you hone
I really want you, I got to, got to see you na, na
Mama, I got the will but I can't find my way now, no, no

You got the will, son, you got the power now
You got everything, I said, Lord have mercy now

My mama told me, the old sayin' is
If there's a will son there's got to be a way na, na
Mama I got the will but I can't find my way now, no, no
