Momma

Chorus
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want a girl to teach me all the things you taught me to
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want her love to see me through like you always do
 
Oh I don’t feel lonely
And I’m sure not pressed for time
I’m not the kind for getting married
So far my life’s been fine
 
And Oh I’ve been really lucky
I’ve been given all I need 
And what it all comes down to, is a good close family
 
 Chorus
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want a girl to teach me all the things you taught me to
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want her love to see me through like you always do
 
And if she happens to have your eyes as pretty as they are
I hope she can see as clear as you did, the good things that you saw
If she happens to have your hands with that gentle, easy touch
I hope she can feel the depths you felt when I needed it so much
 
 Chorus
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want a girl to teach me all the things you taught me to
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want her love to see me through like you always do
 
It’s not my time to marry now
And there's plenty that I know
But there's just one thing missing
It's the lady who runs the show
And if I found a girl in town who loves me like you do
Who knows what might happen if she turns out just like you
 
 Chorus
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want a girl to teach me all the things you taught me to
Momma, I want a girl just like you
I want her love to see me through like you always do
Momma
