Mama Didn't Raise No Fool
Mama says love is once in a lifetime
How you gonna find love and nights for the one time
See the thing about me, it's just not the right time
My mama says, "Son, you can't fight the sunshine"
I did not go, here tonight
To be struck by your light
But here I stand with your picture
Should I stay? Should I go?
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Thank you mama, thank you mama
Thank you mama, thank you mama
Mama says, "Lately I don't recognize you
But if this is who you want to be you've got the right to"
(You buried your heart so guilt could never find you)
Mama says, "Love will find the boy that I knew"
I did not go, here tonight
To be brought back to life
But here I stand in my greed
Second chance is your name
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
I loved you since I said, "Hello"
I need you much more than I know
I did not go, here tonight
To be struck by your light
But here I stand with your picture
Should I stay? Should I go?
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
