When Mama said that it was okay
|
Mama said that it was quite alright
|
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
|
And it was ok
|
Mama told us we are good kids
|
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
|
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
|
'Cause we were good kids
|
|
Remember asking both my mom and dad
|
Why we never traveled to exotic lands
|
We only ever really visit friends
|
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
|
We never really went buying clothes
|
Folks were passing on this stuff plenty loads
|
New shoes once a year and then
|
Out to play ball so we could ruin them
|
|
When mama said that it was okay
|
Mama said that it was quite alright
|
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
|
And it was ok
|
Mama told us we were good kids
|
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
|
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
|
'Cause we were good kids
|
|
Don’t get me wrong I didn’t have it bad
|
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
|
But I don’t think they really understood
|
When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood
|
I told them I'll be singing on TV
|
The other kids were calling me a wannabe
|
The older kids they started bugging me
|
But now they all standing right in front of me
|
|
When mama said that it was okay
|
Mama said that it was quite alright
|
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
|
And it was ok
|
Mama told us we were good kids
|
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
|
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
|
‘Cause we were good kids
|
|
I know which place I'm from
|
I know my home
|
When I’m in doubt and struggling
|
That’s where I go
|
An old friend can give advice
|
When new friends only know a half story
|
That’s why I’m always keep them tight
|
And why I'm okay
|
…I said I'm OK
|
You know what my mama said
|
You know what she told me
|
|
My mama said that it was ok
|
Mama said that it was quite alright
|
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
|
And it was ok
|
Mama said that we were good kids
|
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
|
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
|
‘Cause we were good kids
|
|
Mama said that it was okay
|
Mama said that it was okay
|
When mama said that it was okay
