It's Her Turn To Live - Smokey Robinson

Mama gave us all her life

Now it’s hard to live

(Yeah)

Mama gave us everything, boy

Now it’s her turn to live

Little brother

Brother, don’t you know?

You got the best mother that the world has ever known

Worked her fingers to the bone

Now you’re almost grown

And out on your own

She got the right to be left alone

I’m twenty

You’re sixteen

And brother that’s a-plenty

'Cause when came on the scene

Mama was only seventeen

So she’s still a young woman

If you know what I mean

She got the right

To the man of her dreams

(Yeah)

She got the right

To the man of her dreams

She got the right

To the man of her dreams

Mama gave us all her life

And now it’s her turn to live

Her turn to live

Mama raised us all her life

And now it’s her turn to live

Mama gave us everything, boy

And now it’s you’re turn to give

Well, well, well

Because our mama, our mama

(Mama loves him)

(And? her)

But what us then

Is when a man comes in

And give him a chance to be your friend

She got the right to be loved again

(Talkin' about mama)

She got the right to be loved again

(Mama)

She got the right to be loved again

(Mama, mama)

Mama gave us all her life

Now it’s her turn to live

Mama gave us everything

Our turn to give

Her turn to live

And our turn to give

Her turn to live

Our turn to give

(Mama got the right)

(Mama got the right)

(Mama got the right)
