Mama Lyrics - 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
