Verse 1
Listen to your mama, because she only gives you love and wisdom
so just let the others believe that they're bringing their money to paradise
because there's more than Dunya* and it took me a while to realise
so won't you please promise me, promise me to listen to your mama before it's too late
Bridge
She carried me during nine monts
and nothing will beat that love
I'm telling you so you won't forget
she carried me during months
and nothing will beat that love
yeah I'm telling you so you won't forget
Chrorus
Habibi** promise me to listen to your mother
because one day you'll wish she was here
I should've listened to you
promise me, promise me you'll listen to your mother
because one day you'll wish she was here
I should've listened to you
because mama is always right
Verse 2
Believe me, it was only mama who could see how I felt inside
if I was feeling up or down or had problems with another girl
because there's more than this Dunya and it took a while to realise
so won't you promise me promise me promise me
Bridge
She carried me during nine monts
and nothing will beat that love
I'm telling you so you won't forget
Chorus
Habibi promise me to listen to your mother
because one day you'll wish she was here
I should've listened to you
promise me, promise me you'll listen to your mother
because one day you'll wish she was here
I should've listened to you
because mama is always right
La-la-la-la .........
Another brother behind bars
who couldn't say goodbye to his mama
and believe me when it hits it hits
and believe me when it hits it hits
Another brother behind bars
who couldn't say goodbye to his mama
I should've listened to you, listened to you
because mama is always right.
Chorus
Habibi promise me to listen to your mother
because one day you'll wish she was here
I should've listened to you
promise me, promise me you'll listen to your mother
because one day you'll wish she was here
I should've listened to you
because mama is always right
la-la-la-la..............
