I couldn't sleep last night
There was something on my mind
I lay there wishing in the dark
Someone could tell me why
If you love somebody
from the bottom of your heart
Why do you hurt each other
How does it fall apart?

An' then I heard a voice
as she sat down on my bed
And I can still remember
The words my mama said

Love can give, love can take
Love can bend and love can break
When you think it's over, it's not the end
Don't give in, just be strong
And please remember son, my mama said
There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend

My mama said, no one knows
What your life has got in store
You may go walking on the moon
You may be rich or poor
But I know for certain
If you try to reach the stars
Anything is possible

But when it comes to matters of the heart
There is no guarantees
All that I can say to you
Is what my mama said to me

Love can give, love can take
Love can bend and love can break
When you think it's over, it's not the end
Don't give in, just be strong
And please remember son, my mama said
There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend

So one day in my lifetime
When my world falls apart
I won't cry, I'll just tell my heart
My heart

Love can give, love can take
Love can bend and love can break
When you think it's over, it's not the end
Don't give in, just be strong
And please remember when my mama said
There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend
There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend
