Position

[Verse 1]

Don’t worry about him momma, he ain’t really a man

I don’t fault you at all, you did the best that you can

He chose to leave us both, that was part of his plan

He didn’t know at 22, I had legs to stand

He didn’t know at 22, I could hold my own

He didn’t know at 22, I be writin' this song

Momma please don’t cry

He ain’t worth them tears

He ain’t worth that stress

He ain’t worth them years you spent wondering, was it him or was you?

I was young, still a baby, but a part of me knew

You took care of me, so every part of me grew

While he out running the streets to be a part of the crew

I hated getting phone calls that he’ll see me on the weekend

Saturday come, and I ain’t see him on the weekend

My heartache is not your fault, me and you momma we is lost

So momma get up

[John Mayer - Heart of Life Sample]

I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position

(Cause you my one and only)

I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position

(Cause you my one and only)

[Verse 2]

PTA meetings, you was there by yourself

See every other parent thought that you needed some help

And every other parent thought that I was gonna be a misfit

But now I’m great and that man missed it

Wipe your tears momma, momma please don’t cry

I remember you yelling to him, “Please Don’t Lie”

He thought that if he sent me some letters in the mail

That I wouldn’t be mad, yeah damn he sad

I know you wanted me at graduation

But with this dough, we can go on vacation

Far from heartache, far from lies

So momma just smile, be far from cryin'

Let the sun shine, the sky weather is blue

My dad ask, “how you doing”

You say, “better than you"

I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position

(Cause you my one and only)

I hate to see you cry, lying there in that position

(Cause you my one and only)
