Lyrics

Loves Me Like A Rock

[Verse 1]

Ooh, when I was a little boy

(When I was just a boy)

And the devil called my name

(When I was just a boy)

I say now who do

(Who)

Who do you think you're foolin'?

(When I was just a boy)

I'm a consecrated boy

(When I was just a boy)

I'm a singer in a Sunday choir

Oh, my mama loves me

She loves me

She get down on her knees and hug me

[Chorus]

Oh, she loves me like a rock

She rocks me like a rock of ages and loves me

She love me, love me, love me, love me

[Verse 2]

When I was growin' to be a man

(Growin' to be a man)

And the devil would call my name

(Growin' to be a man)

I said now who do

(Who)

Who do you think you're foolin'?

(Growin' to be a man)

I'm a consummating man

(Growin' to be a mad)

I could snatch a little purity

Oh, my mama loves me

She loves me

She get down on her knees and hug me

[Chorus]

She loves me like a rock

She rocks me like a rock of ages and loves me

She love me, love me, love me, love me

[Verse 3]

And if I was President

(Was the President)

The men of Congress call my name

(Was the President)

I'd say who do

(Who)

Who do you think you're foolin'?

(Who do you think you're foolin'?)

I got the Presidential seal

(Was the President)

I'm up on the Presidential podium

My mama loves me

She loves me

She gets down on her knees and hugs me

[Chorus]

Like she loves me like a rock

She loves me like a rock of ages and loves me

[Outro]

She love me, love me, love me, love me

She love me, love me, love me, love me

She love me, love me, love me, love me

She love me, love me, love me, loves me
