| So here we go again — same situation
|
| And I can’t drown in your drama no more
|
| Let me make it clear — just read my lips
|
| This ain’t what I’m looking for
|
| So take it away — I don’t wanna see the damage
|
| Oh no not today — I got better things to do
|
| I’ll sleep in peace — cuz my conscience is clear
|
| While you’re dirty past catches up with you
|
| So what did you think — I was too stupid to notice?
|
| It’s over now — it don’t matter no more
|
| On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
|
| I’ll keep my dignity
|
| Cuz THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
|
| THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
|
| I was raised to be strong — created in the image
|
| Of a woman who knows how to stand on her own
|
| Baby I deserve better than this
|
| If you dim my flame I’d rather be alone
|
| I won’t bow my head — or give into your religion
|
| I will burn bright — cuz I’m made that way
|
| If I let you get away — with treating me less than a lady
|
| What would my mama say?
|
| So what did you think — I was too stupid to notice?
|
| It’s over now — it don’t matter no more
|
| On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
|
| I’ll keep my dignity
|
| Cuz that’s THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
|
| THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
|
| I was taught to love myself
|
| Accept nothing else
|
| And you won’t get the best of me
|
| No you won’t get the best of me
|
| So what did you think — I was too stupid to notice?
|
| It’s over now — it don’t matter no more
|
| On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
|
| I’ll keep my dignity
|
| Cuz that’s THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
|
| THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
|
| THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME |
