[Verse 1]
Well, I've been called a self-made man
And girl don't you believe it's true
I know exactly how lucky I am
When I'm gettin' this close to you
It's high time I'm givin' some praise
To those that got me where I am today
[Chorus]
I got to thank Mama for the cookin'
Daddy for the whoopin'
The devil for the trouble that I get into
I got to give credit where credit is due
I thank the bank for the money
Thank God for you
[Verse 2]
A strong heart and a willin' hand
That's the secret to my success
A good woman, I try to be a good man
A good job, Lord, I know I've been blessed
I'm just part of a greater plan
It doesn't matter which part I am
[Chorus]
I got to thank Mama for the cookin'
Daddy for the whoopin'
The devil for the trouble that I get into
I got to give credit where credit is due
I thank the bank for the money
Thank God for you
[Chorus #2]
I got to thank Mama for the teachin'
Daddy for the preachin'
The devil for the trouble that I get into
I got to give credit where credit is due
I thank the bank for the money
Thank God for you
[Bridge]
Mama
Daddy
Devil
[Chorus]
Yeah, I got to give credit where credit is due
I thank the bank for the money
Thank God for you
[Bridge]
I thank Mama
I thank Daddy
Devil
[Tag]
Well I got to give credit where credit is due
I thank the bank for the money
Thank God for you
