| When I was a young boy my mama would say
|
| Son, you ain’t always gonna get your way
|
| Times will be good, times will be bad
|
| You ain’t always gonna get a winning hand
|
| Son, she always said, you gotta stand tall
|
| Even when it looks like youll take a fall
|
| Life is short and sometimes sweet
|
| Get yout of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat
|
| Everything she said was true
|
| My mama never was a fool
|
| Gotta live your life by the golden rule
|
| I guess its true what they say
|
| Really true what they say
|
| I guess what mama said
|
| Was true
|
| Can’t have your cake and eat it too, babe
|
| I never doubted any word my
|
| Mutha said
|
| With all the sinnin runnin
|
| Round my head
|
| Everything she said was true
|
| My mama never was a fool
|
| Gotta live your life by the golden rule
|
| I guess its true what they say
|
| Everything she said was true
|
| Mama never was a fool
|
| Gotta live your life by the golden rule
|
| I guess its true what they say
|
| Really true what they say
|
| I guess what mama said
|
| Was true
|
| Can’t have your cake and eat it too, babe |
