(Don Reid - Harold Reid)

It was in the high school yearbook dated May of fifty five
We were voted the couple most likely to survive
Even teachers never doubted we were more than just friends
But your momma had some second thoughts back then.

When you went off to nursing school I kept my job in town
To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down
When you came home for holidays we were happy without sin
But your momma had some second thoughts again.

Does your momma know I'm rich and happy well almost that is
Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong
All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you
And that's all I ever really wanted to.

Thanks to her she made want to prove I could succeed
But thanks to her I'll never have the one thing that I need
And if she reads the papers and remembers who I am
She's probably havin' second thoughts again.

Does your momma know I'm rich and happy, well almost that is
Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong
All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you
And that's all I ever really wanted to.

That's all I ever really wanted to...
