David LaBrel - Mama Said lyrics

[Chorus] When Mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was ok Mama told us we are good kids And daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun ´Cause we were good kids [Verse 1] Remember asking both my mom and dad Why we never travelled to exotic lands We only ever really visit friends Nothing to tell when the summer ends We never really went buying clothes Folks were pa**ing on this stuff plenty loads New shoes once a year and then Out to play ball so we could ruin them [Chorus] When mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was ok Mama told us we were good kids And daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun `Cause we were good kids [Verse 2] Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad I got enough loving from my mom and dad But I don't think they really understood When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood I told them I´ll be singing on TV The other kids were calling me a wannabe The older kids they started bugging me But now they all standing right in front of me [Chorus] When mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was ok Mama told us we were good kids And daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun ‘Cause we were good kids [Verse 3] I know which place I´m from I know my home When I'm in doubt and struggling That's where I go An old friend can give advice When new friends only know a half story That's why I'm always keep them tight And why I´m okay … I said I'm OK You know what my mama said You know what she told me [Chorus] My mama said that it was ok Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was ok Mama told us we were good kids And daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun ‘Cause we were good kids [Outro] When mama said that it was okay Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa... When mama said that it was okay Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa... Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa... When mama said that it was okay
