R. Kelly — Sadie

[Intro] This song goes out to my mother The one I love and the one I lost When it comes down to thinking about what my mother's done for me, the love she's given me It makes it easy to do a song like this So this one's for you ma, I love you [Verse 1] Early one Sunday morning Breakfast was on the table There was no time to eat She said to me, "Boy, hurry to Sunday school" Filled with the long of glory We learned the holy story She'll always have her dreams Despite the things This troubled world can bring [Chorus] Oh Sadie, don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie Place no one above you, sweet Sadie Well, well, well Living in the past Sometimes it seems so funny No money can turn your life around [Verse 2] Sweeter than cotton candy Stronger than papas' old Brandy Always that needed smile Once in a while she would break down and cry Sometimes she'd be so happy Being with us and daddy Standing the worst of times Breaking the binds with just a simple song [Chorus] Oh Sadie, she's loving my song in a special way Sweet Sadie, living in the past Oh, she's never sinning in love she's always winning My my my my my I love you mama I just can't forget how you gave me love oh no If there's a heaven up above, I know she's teaching angels how to love It's a mean world without ya And I surely miss you much mother And now that your gone I'm gonna carry on 'Cause you're crying lady Ooh Sadie When I think about the things that you done for me Hey it brings a joy way down deep inside of me [Outro] Oh oh oh oo oh See I love you mama Yes I do I'll never forget you mama no Oh oh oh
