[Verse 1]
Wake up, face the day, nobody ever belongs
Sometimes takes time just to leave it alone
Stand out, try to be, I never get it too wrong
Hard times, thinking what you're fixin' to do
[Chorus]
My mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash
Don't you fret or mope
So just laugh when you're already lost
Move, move along the road
My mama said it, my mama said it
I do believe that it's true
If it's all gonna work out in the wash
Then I'm cleaning up this mess
I think I'm starting with you
I think I'm starting with you
[Verse 2]
Playing on the safe side, maybe you're his main side
Ain't no telling how to know
So honey don't go rocking the boat
You don't see the downside with kicking on the south side
That way no one ever sees the secrets you been trying to keep
So tired of hiding out but who do you want to be?
[Chorus]
My mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash
Don't you fret or mope
So just laugh when you're already lost
Move, move along the road
My mama said it, my mama said it
I do believe that it's true
If it's all gonna work out in the wash
Then I'm cleaning up this mess
I think I'm starting with you
I think I'm starting with you
[Bridge]
So if your trepidation outweighs your fight
And if the consequences weigh down your mind
I let the feeling change me from inside
Hold on tight
[Chorus]
My mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash
Don't you fret or mope
So just laugh when you're already lost
Move, move along the road
My mama said it, my mama said it
I do believe that it's true
If it's all gonna work out in the wash
Then I'm cleaning up this mess
I think I'm starting with you
I think I'm starting with you
I think I'm starting with you
[Outro]
My mama said it was alright, it was alright
I think I'm starting with you
