My Mama Told Me Lyrics - Tom Tom Club

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

So if you're in trouble by rumors 

Well I can tell you I'm angry at lies 

I hear it - and it feels like murder 

But I'll never get it right if I don't try 

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

People think we should all be the same 

As if the sky could be only blue 

And if you want to play that stupid game 

Then you know that I am not the girl for you 

Thinkin' 'bout it, makes me want to cry 

It makes no sense to say "Good-bye" 

Baby, you're the one I adore 

I don't want to lose you no more. Oh, no! 

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma 

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma 

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

We could walk as lovers hand in hand 

And if it rains, well - never mind! 

You can kiss me right here where we stand 

And let them say, that love is truly color-blind 

Thinkin' 'bout it, makes me want to cry 

It makes no sense to say "Good-bye" 

Baby, you're the one I adore 

You're the only one my heart beats for. Oh, yeah! 

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma 

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma 

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

My Mamma told me love is true 

Only if it returns to you 

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right, Mamma!
