Another Saturday night, there’s a knock on the door

He sees a new face he’s not seen before

He kisses his Mama, says “I hope you have fun”

He crosses his fingers ‘n’ hopes this is the one



Who will love her and bring back her smile

And won’t run away ‘cause she has a child

The weight of the world rests on his shoulders

‘Cause Mama needs someone to hold her



They both keep tryin’ to change how it is

She thinks it’s her fault and he thinks it’s his

He knows the answer though he’s just a kid

She needs someone who’ll give her what his Daddy did



Who will love her and bring back her smile

And won’t run away ‘cause she has a child

The weight of the world rests on his shoulders

‘Cause Mama needs someone to hold her



The weight of the world rests on his shoulders

‘Cause Mama needs someone to hold her

Mama needs someone to hold her



Mama needs someone to hold her
