To The Other Man - Remastered

Hey Mama
 Mama used to take me across her lap
 She used to hit me with a trap
 When I was bad.
 I didn't know at the time
 Being bad could lead to crime
 But now I'm glad
 Well she kept me on the double
 I stayed out of trouble
 And now I understand
 She said son you've got to give a heck
 Promise you'll always give respect to the other man
 When I used to make fun of others
 She'd say no not to your brothers
 And that ain't all
 When someone is feeling low
 Think of the nicest things you know
 To make them feel tall
 I never forget what mama said
 When she kneel down and pray
 For the Father's guiding hand
 Throw your arms around his neck
 Make him proud to give respect to the other man
 Oh now that I'm a man
 God has taken my mother's hand
 And now I'm carrying on
 Oh sometimes I'll have to weep
 Mother's love I'll always keep
 Cause she made me strong
 And if should ever have a son
 We gonna have lots of fun
 And I'll teach him to understand
 She said son you got to give a heck
 Promise you'll always give respect to the other man
