^ABut somebody told me that your mother was^E born ^AOh a wandering woman with a spirit so s^Eworn of the riverside ^AAnd it never surprised me but it me^Bant that my^E love was immobilized ^A Well, it ^Bmeant that my lo^Eve was immobil^Aized Cause when ^Dit comes, it come^As when it does. ^E

^EBut you came in the middle and you fell in my hands ^EOh a, wonderful woman and an average man. See tha^Dt makes me the ^Alucky man ^E ^EI won't be deserving, but I won't be denied ^ESee, I fell in this position, I will still teach my kids pride Because^D failure's a ^Apart of it ^Eall And if fa^Dilure don't hurt then fa^Ailure don't work at a^Ell
