I'm flailing to figure out the meaning behind this song.

Is it biblical/spritual? Is "mama" God or moral conscience? Satirical? Or maybe it's just very straightforward and means what it says...

What does 'love me like a rock' mean? "This is one of Simon's more spiritual songs. It's about a mother's love. She is a rock; steady, firm, unchanging." I found that excellent answer at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-does-%27love-me-like-a-rock%27-mean I like the words: "steady, firm, unchanging"... like a rock. ---Sea1934
