about

This Motown-inspired track offers a rolling ride through warm back-up vocals, uplifting horn-lines and some killer Hammond B3. Lyrics tell the tale of motherly advice gone awry.

lyrics

Mama said life ain’t fair girl
Mama said stand on your own
Mama said you gotta be strong now
Mama said cold winds would blow

But mama never told me
How to handle a man like you
She had no words of wisdom
Now I don’t know what to do with what mama said

Mama said keep your defenses
Mama said they can be cruel
Mama said there would be heartache
Mama said don’t be a fool

But mama forgot to mention
The thrill of letting go
Her story had no ending
Now I’m left out on my own

Now my heart has been unbroken
And my world turned upside own
Forbidden words been spoken
And my thoughts all turned around
Mama’s best advice was the thing that wasn’t so
Mama said, that’s what mama said

Mama said life ain’t fair girl
Mama said stand on your own
Mama said you gotta be strong now
Mama said cold winds would blow
Mama said keep your defenses
Mama said they can be cruel
Mama said there would be heartache
Mama said don’t be a fool

But mama never told me there could be a man like this
Who’d knock me down with a smile and lift me up with a kiss
I can’t believe I’ve been so foolish, I can’t be leave my heart’s been stirred
I can’t believe you broke the door down, I can’t believe a single word
That my mama said
