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 an’ 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
