You can never do wrong in a mother's eyes
No matter what you may do
She will always forgive any wrong you've done
And she'll open her warm heart to you

Though you've been the cause of her tears she's cried
When you've strayed the straight narrow bar
Oh you can never do wrong in a mother's eyes
For she sees her son through her heart

She knelt by her bed many lonely nights
While waiting for you to come home
And prayed to the Lord to keep you right
And guard you wherever you roam

Though you're not the man that you might have been
And you feel ashamed of your past
Oh you can never do wrong in a mother's eyes
For she sees her son through her heart

[Spoken by Slim and sung by Joy in unison]:

A careless mistake can bring you shame
And troubles just hang over you
And a father might say you've disgraced the name
But the love of a mother stays true
Although you've been careless with Cupid's bow
And you falsely directed his dart
Oh you can never do wrong in a mother's eyes
For she sees her son through her heart

You can never do wrong in a mother's eyes
For she sees her son through her heart
