Mama, I'll be okay
G
I'm still your little girl at the end of the day
A D
Your arms are still the ones I run to when I'm scared
And Mama, don't cry

These rusty wings of mine have gotta learn how to fly
A A7 D
But don't stay up, I'll be home soon
[Refrain]
D7 D G
Mmm, and growin' up is hard to do
A D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you
[Verse 2]
D
Mama, I hope you know
G
That when I pack my suitcase, I'm not off on my own
A A7
Because I know I got a piece of you here
D
And Mama, don't sigh
G
When I have to call you and ask how clothin' dries
A A7
Because you're still the smartest woman I know
[Refrain]
D7 D G
Oh, and growin' up is hard to do
A D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you

Tenacious and complex

You've always chosen to see the best and
A A7 D
These are the lessons I can tell my little ones I learned from you

A D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you
D7 G
Ooh, and growin' up is hard to do
A A7 D
But my heart will never outgrow its fondness over you
