(Days go by and by, and everything I do, I do for you)
(Days go by and by, for you I’ll give what I never gave)
(Days go by and by, you taught me, and that’s why I am this way)

In time you taught me values, values I can’t change now
And I love you more than I can say, and I’m sorry for making you cry
You’re my mother, the one who guides me, my mother, the only one who trusts my word
You didn’t leave me for all the cops, I’d be embarrassed in front of your friends
Who told you not to follow your son, and not to say anything, just let him go crazy
She always said it would end with time, and that the bad stuff heals with time
To this day it’s a bitterness, they say they adore me and they say they love me
Your friends who said no, oh how bad the reputation has been

(Days go by and by, and you keep praying for me)
(Days go by and by, and everything I do, I do for you)
(Days go by and by, for you I’ll give what I never gave)
(Days go by and by, you taught me, and that’s why I am this way)
(Days go by and by, keep praying for me)
(Days go by and by, everything I do, I do for you)
(Days go by and by, for you I’d give what I never gave)
(Days go by and by, you taught me, and that’s why I am this way)

(Days go by and by, the bad stuff is delayed)
Judge me, tell me, what’s it based on? I just want ten houses for my mom
Before I couldn’t even pay rent, help from social services
I didn’t even qualify for welfare, the streets told me: “You’re not getting out”
Teaching me to grow up with just enough, and oh my God, what happiness
Where just enough was nothing, but at least it was peace of mind
I was seen with seriousness, knowing that one day the door would knock
Mom, I’m sorry for the bad, the crazy life, the bad stuff gets to me

(Days go by and by, and you keep praying for me)
(Days go by and by, and everything I do, I do for you)
(Days go by and by, for you I’ll give what I never gave)
(Days go by and by, you taught me, and that’s why I am this way)
(Days go by and by, keep praying for me)
(Days go by and by, everything I do, I do for you)
(Days go by and by, for you I’d give what I never gave)
