[Verse 1]
[G]Your mother called [Bm]on me [G]today
To have a heart to heart
I took her coat and rested it
An[Am]d we [Bm]sat down [G]to start
And then [Bm]she said[G]
[Bm]He's[G] my son
[Am]My one and only boy
[Bm]All I want for him is
[Am]Hap piness and j[D]oy[G]
That's [Em]why I[Am] came to see[D]
you [G]today[Am][D][Bm][G]
[Am]He h[D]as n[G]o time for love
[Am]I'm sending him to school
[C]He's goi[Bm]ng to be a doc[D]tor
[G]Not [Am]just some lovesick [D]fool
[A]Tha[G]t's why[Em][Am]
You'd only [D]be in [G]his [Am]way[D][G]
She [Bm]said [E]his [Am]father
Worked his finger[C]s[D]
[G]Right down to the bone
[Bm]So o[Em]ne da[Am]y our son might have[C][Am]
[C]an [Am]offic[C]e [G]of his own
[F#sus4]With his n[Bm]ame in gold letters
en[G]graved on [Em]the door
But [A]since you came along
he don't [D]study no more
I [G]sat there and [D]I c[G]ried
I [Am]knew that she was [C]right
[D]I said, d[Bm]on't you know I've tried
[E]Tried [Am]with all my mi[G]gh[C]t
[D]So [G]please, oh [Em]please
[G]Try to under[Em]stand
I [C]know that he's your [D]son
He's your [C]one and only [D]boy
But [G]he's my [Ab]man
He's my man
[G]
