Verse 1

She’s scrolling late, dressed up again

Chasing love from broken men

Bottom-shelf promises, empty words

While bedtime stories go unheard

She says she’s lonely, says she’s tired

Says she just wants to feel desired

But there’s little eyes down the hall

Wondering why they don’t feel chosen at all

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Lonely ain’t the same as alone

And love don’t live in somebody else’s phone

⸻

Chorus

You ain’t lonely, mama, you just forgot

Who needs you most and loves you nonstop

You keep looking for love in all the wrong places

While your babies are begging for time and your presence

Those men won’t save you, they won’t stay

But them kids remember every day

The love you’re chasing is already there

Sitting on the floor in a broken chair

⸻

Verse 2

He don’t help with bills or pain

Just adds more weight to your chain

You call it grown, call it free

But freedom don’t look like neglect to me

Your kids don’t need another “uncle”

Coming in and out, leaving trouble

They need consistency, safety, truth

Someone choosing them the way they choose you

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You’re pouring love into empty hands

While your whole heart’s calling from the back room, ma’am

⸻

Chorus

You ain’t lonely, mama, you just forgot

Who’s been loving you from the very start

You keep chasing men that drain your soul

While your babies just want you whole

They don’t care about your heartbreak story

They just want you present, not sorry

The love you’re missing ain’t out there

It’s calling you “Mama” from everywhere

⸻

Bridge (Spoken / Half-Sung)

Your kids don’t need perfection

They need protection

They don’t need a new man

They need their mama’s attention

Heal first

Choose them first

And watch how the loneliness breaks

⸻

Final Chorus

You ain’t lonely, mama, you’re needed here

In scraped-up knees and bedtime prayers

One day they’ll grow and walk away

And you’ll wish you had chosen different days

Don’t trade moments you’ll never get back

For temporary love that cracks

The greatest love you’ll ever find

Is already yours—every single time

⸻

Outro

Stop chasing what keeps leaving

Start loving what’s been waiting
