I have loved me a man like my momma did
I have loved me a man
Tall and tender, his hands like my daddy's were
And a mind that understands
And the arms that held me when I was crying
The lips that kissed away the tears
But they're a part of the man
That my momma loved
And I have loved me a man
I have wed me a man, like my momma did
I have wed me a man
I can still feel the warmth of the words he said
He had my heart tied in his hand
And in the morning I would wake by his side
And wonder what I could have done
To be loved by a man like my momma loved
And I have loved me a man
I would bear him a child like my momma did
I would bear him a child
She'll be gentle and sweet like my momma was
I'd watch her grow, and in a while
She'll ask me, "Momma, what should I want from life?"
And I would tell her with a smile
Just be loved by a man like your momma loved
And I have loved me a man
And I have loved me a man
