It’s Her Turn To Live Lyrics By 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 aplenty
    ’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
