Mama Said

Lyrics

[Chorus] My mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was okay Mama told us we were good kids And Daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun 'Cause we were good kids [Verse 1] Remember asking both my mom and dad Why we never travelled to exotic lands We only ever really visit friends Nothin' to tell when the summer ends We never really went buyin' clothes Folks were passin' on the stuff in plenty loads New shoes once a year and then Out to play ball so we could ruin them [Chorus] My mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was okay Mama told us we were good kids And Daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointin' nasty fingers and making fun 'Cause we were good kids [Verse 2] Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad I got enough lovin' from my mom and dad But I don't think they really understood When I said that I wanted a deal in Hollywood I told them I'd be singin' on TV The other kids were callin' me a wannabe The older kids, they started buggin' me But now they're all standin' right in front of me [Chorus] My mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was okay Mama told us we were good kids And Daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointin' nasty fingers and making fun 'Cause we were good kids [Bridge] I know which place I'm from I know my home When I'm in doubt and strugglin' That's where I go An old friend can give advice When new friends only know a half story That's why I always keep 'em tight And why I'm okay I said I'm okay You know what my mama said? You know what she told me? [Chorus] My mama said that it was okay My mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was okay Mama told us we were good kids And Daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointin' nasty fingers and makin' fun 'Cause we were good kids [Outro] My mama said that it was okay Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa... My mama said that it was okay Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa... My mama said that it was okay
