My Mama Said

Tried to sneak out without saying 
With my loudest record playing 
Ooh, my mama said, "Look at this, you haven't done your bed" 
My mama said, "That's a thing that you should do instead" 

Then I did what she had told me 
Dying for my friend to hold me 
Ooh, my mama said, "Try and get one thing into your head" 
My mama said, "Pa and me, we give you room and bed" 
How I wanna live my life 
Wanna live my life 
La-la-la, la-la-la, life 

In the morning she said "Listen" 
Ooh, I felt like in a prison 
Yeah, my mama said, "I know you've been out again with Fred" 
(My mama said) 
My mama said, "Don't you lie, your cheeks are blushing red" 
(My mama said) 
Oh I wanna live my life 
Wanna live my life 
La-la-la, la-la-la, life 

I said I can live without it 
How I wish you wouldn't doubt it 
Ooh, my mama said, "If you want to hurt me go ahead" 
(My mama said) 
My mama said, "I suppose you'd rather see me dead" 
(My mama said) 
Oh I wanna live my life 
Wanna live my life 
La-la-la, la-la-la, life 
La-la-la, la-la-la, life 
La-la-la, la-la-la, life 
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
