Mama - Rudy Mancuso

She said «I never want to leave you but I gotta go»

And then she left me for a reason that I’ll never know

But I don’t mind

I’m feeling fine

My mama told me all the things that I already know

Sometimes I feel it in my bones just like an animal

She’s on my mind

I guess I’m not alright

But…

I’ve been through this shit so many times

And I can’t deny

I’ll give you one more try

I’m hoping things go differently this time

'Cause she could be right

She could be right

Mama told me «Play it cool»

But I can’t help if I’m a fool

And in my mind there’s only you

'Cause happy endings I can’t choose

I guess I’ll play it cool

She says you’re going way too fast, you gotta take it slow

This love is like a plant, we gotta let it grow

And I said «Why?»

«Sounds like a waste of time»

I’m getting tired of tryna be what you want me to be

But mama told me that I can’t keep playing hide and seek

She’s on my mind

I’m not gonna lie

But…

I’ve been through this shit so many times

And I can’t deny

I’ll give you one more try

I’m hoping things go differently this time

'Cause she could be right

She could be right

Mama told me «Play it cool»

But I can’t help if I’m a fool

And in my mind there’s only you

'Cause happy endings I can’t choose

I guess I’ll play it cool

I call the same old things so many times

Some things in life

You just can’t rewind

Things don’t seem to change although I try

And I know why

And I know why
