Yeah, yeah, tell me more about life Tell me about life Mama, Mama Let's talk about life She said, I was silly enough to believe That I could make it by myself But now I know I can't do a thing Without the Master's help That's life That's the secret of life, kid And I said, Thank you, Mama For tellin' me about life And she said, no problem, dear Now go out and live your life!
