My Mama Said Lyrics

Tried to sneak out without saying
With my loudest record playing

Ooh, my mama said, "Look at this, you haven't done your bed"
My mama said, "That's a thing that you should do instead"

Yeah, I did what she had told me
Dying for my friend to hold me

Ooh, my mama said, "Try and get one thing into your head"
My mama said, "Pa and me, we give you room and bed"
How I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life

In the morning she said "Listen"
Ooh, I felt like in a prison

Yeah, my mama said, "I know you've been out again with Fred" (my mama said)
My mama said, "Don't you lie, your cheeks are blushing red" (my mama said)
Oh, I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life

I said, "I can't live without him
How I wish you wouldn't doubt him"

Ooh ooh, my mama said, "If you want to hurt me go ahead" (my mama said)
My mama said, "I suppose you'd rather see me dead" (my mama said)
Oh, I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life

La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
