My Mama told me,
If your heart gets lonely
Pray to jezus he will always lead the way
My Grammy would scold me
Bite your tongue like a lady
You can peak out through the kitchen at the fun
Tell me I should get a job
Go on Grow Up now- Get a Life
Button up now suit & tie
Get a Husband Be a Wife
But I say:
Oh, Well I got to go
Just let me run
Stop tryin’ control what I’ve become
Yeah I’m on my way
Just lemmie flee
A renegade- that’s what I be
Cross yo’ T’s for Good Breeding
Dot your I’s just Keep Cleaning
Take a thin slice of the diet humble pie
If your waist could be thinner
You could then be the winner of the heart,
Through the stomach of a man
Tell me I should get a job
Go on Grow Up now- Get a Life
Button up now suit & tie
Get a Husband Be a Wife
But I say:
Oh, Well I got to go
Just let me run
Stop tryin’ control what I’ve become
Yeah I’m on my way
Just lemmie BE
A renegade- it works for me
That works for me
Not what My Mama Told Me
Oh MY Mama, My Mama Told Me
And I went CRAZY
MY Mama, My mama Told Me
Keep on Prayin’ & Being a Lady
While I tried & I went crazy
MY Mama, My mama Told Me ( Oh Ah No)
MY Mama, My mama Told Me (Just Pray, Just Pray NO)
Keep on Prayin’ & Being a Lady
While I tried & I went crazy
