Your mama said we were too young
And it won’t come to anything
worth writing home about
She said I was the kind of fool
To put trouble in your mind
And leave you alone with little doubt
She said there ain't enough days in your few years
To know what you want to be
There ain't enough time in this life
To waste on a fool like me
It feels like so many
years ago now
I was just a kid running wild
But I've grown into this woman
you see before your eyes
Doing my best to survive
I took a job working
My fingers to the bone
For that big company
Cos' we got bills and demands
Coming in by the yard
And one more mouth now to feed
I got home from a working day
I found a note that read
Seems mama had it all wrong
She said that you were much too young
You'd make a fool of me
But I've been fooling you all along
'Cos' there ain't one day in all my years
I didn't want to be free
There ain't enough time in your life
To waste on a fool like me
