Lyrics

SHE GAVE EVERYTHING FOR ME
Writers Ed Bentley &Gail Wasserman

Verse 1
When she started to show, she let him know
Shock of his life, what he heard her say
He said - OMG, what can we do
She said, don't you worry, It ain't up to you
So they stayed in touch, a small check each month
She made a choice, to be mom and dad
Raised me alone, made a good home
Didn't have much, what we needed we had

Chorus
She was my mama and my papa
Life was hard, never, came easy
Working all day, sometimes at night
Giving her all, to make my life right
She gave everything
Yeah she gave everything for me

verse 2
My thirteenth birthday, I was blown away
In walked my dad, mama's birthday surprise
She cried I'm sorry, I kept him away
We all stood there, tears in our eyes
Today is much better, dad and I get together
Now I have a family, a son of my own
Thankful for dad, good times we've have had
But I won't forget, how mama raised me alone

Last Chorus
But mama was my mama and my papa
Etc....
Tag
She gave everything, mama gave everything
Yeah, she gave everything for me

Great Sentiment/Very well sung, nicely written. Just a nice song

Angelo Giambra

This song has a lot of energy. The mix is very good.

I do think the melody has a complexity to it that makes it a little hard to follow. There is a main melody which switches into a secondary melody on the lyrics: "Though he stayed in touch, a small check each month She made a choice, to be mom and dad". It then switches back to the main melody. But the two melodies seem too similar and this contributes to the sense of being hard to follow.

The hook is pretty good but the melody takes too long to get to it (in my humble opinion) which ends up rendering it less effective.

Otherwise this is a good song which, I think with a little work, can become a stronger song.
