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.”.

Oh oh, 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…
