[Richie:]
If my time on earth was over,
Then the last thing I would do
Is to pray to God and just thank him
For blessing me with you
[Chris:]
What you did for me was a miracle
Every word you said was true
You were always there and protected me
This song goes out to you
[Chorus:]
Mama, I never meant to make you cry
Mama, forgive me for the times I hurt you
Mama, if I could only turn back time
My life would be complete
[Mikel:]
In my darkest times, you're my shinin light
I can always count on you
You were there for me, when I couldn't see
And helped me make it through
[Jay:]
Mama, when I was just a little child
All the things we used to do
I will cherish all of the memories
That's why I sing this song to you
[Chorus:]
Mama, I never meant to make you cry
Mama, forgive me for the times I hurt you
Mama, if I could only turn back time
My life would be complete
[Bridge: Everybody]
How am I to make it through the night?
How am I to live my life when you're bot here by my side?
Mama you're the reason why i've become a better man
Every word you said was true, and I'll make it up to you
[Chorus: everybody]
Mama, I never meant to make you cry
Mama, forgive me for the times I hurt you
Mama, if I could only turn back time
My life would be complete
