[Intro]
Let's go
Oh

[Verse 1]
Did you ever wake up in the morning and saw what's on?
What did you do? What did you do?
Did you ever hold a hand in the pot?
What did you do? What did you do?
You took my love, you took my joy, you took everything I ever owned
Oh, baby, you know I'm not gonna let you go
Oh

[Chorus]
Mama never said, oh

[Verse 2]
Went down and stood on the welfare line
With a newborn baby that was crying
My number says sixty-eight
Oh, Lord, I know, I know I have a long wait
Jimmy Rose was standing at my door
With a black cashmere sweater with a rose
Baby, I don't want you to make me wait

[Chorus]
But mama never said, oh
That love would be like this
That love would be like this
Mama nеver said, oh
[Bridge]
Give you my left hand
Takе the right one, cut it off
I've been thinking
Mama never said, Mama never said
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no

[Chorus]
Mama, she never said no
Mama, she never cried no
Mama, Mama, Mama
Ma-Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama
Mama, she never said no
Mama, she never said no
Love would be like this

[Outro]
No, no-no, no-no, no-no, no
I'll tell you no more, I'll tell you no more
I'll tell you no more, I'll tell you no more
I'll tell you no more
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no, no, no
I'll tell you no more, I'll tell you no more
I'll tell you no more
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no
Mama never said love would be like this
