about
Written for my mother, Rosemary "Roaringkitty" Caldwell, for Mother's Day 2023.
lyrics
16 when you said hello to your little girl
Both of us children, you and me against the world
That man who said he loved you, the one you gave your heart to
What did he do?
Took the dog's way out and left it all up to you
Growin' up so fast
Life's too hard to be made of glass
For all you were put through
You did what you had to do
Hey mama (Hey mama, hey mama)
I appreciate you (Hey mama, hey mama)
I'm talking about my mama (my mama, my mama)
I love my mama (my mama, my mama)
We had our ups and downs, 2 babies growing up together
I watched you through heartbreaks and heartaches
Looking for a love that was forever
Money was tight, life was a fight
But you always tried did what was right
We went to school
Had food
Had a roof
Because of you
The times you felt alone
Sitting in the kitchen in the dark
You had to be so strong
And your strength helped us become who we are
Hey mama (Hey mama, hey mama)
I appreciate you (I appreciate you)
(Hey mama, hey mama)
Talking about my mama (my mama, my mama)
I love my mama (my mama, my mama)
Yeah!
Talkin' 'bout her
Talkin' 'bout her
Cause I love, cause I love, cause I love my mama
I know I was hard as a teenager
But now I'm grown and I appreciate you
Mama (mama)
Mama (mama)
Mama (mama)
Sometimes life makes you put up your guard
But you still have your big loving heart
Yes you do
Give it up, give it up, for mama
Show her love, show her love, for mama
So give it up, so give it up, for mama
Show her love, show her love, for mama
Both of us children, you and me against the world
That man who said he loved you, the one you gave your heart to
What did he do?
Took the dog's way out and left it all up to you
Growin' up so fast
Life's too hard to be made of glass
For all you were put through
You did what you had to do
Hey mama (Hey mama, hey mama)
I appreciate you (Hey mama, hey mama)
I'm talking about my mama (my mama, my mama)
I love my mama (my mama, my mama)
We had our ups and downs, 2 babies growing up together
I watched you through heartbreaks and heartaches
Looking for a love that was forever
Money was tight, life was a fight
But you always tried did what was right
We went to school
Had food
Had a roof
Because of you
The times you felt alone
Sitting in the kitchen in the dark
You had to be so strong
And your strength helped us become who we are
Hey mama (Hey mama, hey mama)
I appreciate you (I appreciate you)
(Hey mama, hey mama)
Talking about my mama (my mama, my mama)
I love my mama (my mama, my mama)
Yeah!
Talkin' 'bout her
Talkin' 'bout her
Cause I love, cause I love, cause I love my mama
I know I was hard as a teenager
But now I'm grown and I appreciate you
Mama (mama)
Mama (mama)
Mama (mama)
Sometimes life makes you put up your guard
But you still have your big loving heart
Yes you do
Give it up, give it up, for mama
Show her love, show her love, for mama
So give it up, so give it up, for mama
Show her love, show her love, for mama

about
And Then There Was One Boston, Massachusetts
And Then There Was One is Stevie Caldwell’s solo project, an outlet for a very personal, atmospheric and powerful sound which finds its niche somewhere between genres: it’s rock at its core, flowing from mid-tempo melodic grooves into crunchy angst-ridden alt rock, which she describes as much like her personality. ... more
