Mama, I Know Lyrics

Mama, I know you want more for me

But I was never good at math

It must be so hard to see

Me follow in this path

Give them love

Give them hell

Give them what they need

Take what's yours

Make your mark

Find what sets you free

But I know you want more for me

Than what these notes can give

I know you want more for me

'Cause they never let you live, no

Mama, packed up with your clarinet

Biking in your concert clothes

You give too much for what you get

But I guess it's what you chose

And mama, I know you want more for

But I've taken my seat here

And I know you want more

Than what you see

But it won't happen in a year

All your friends

From the job

They're all having kids

But they're back on the road now, mama

While you're stuck by my crib

And I know you want more for me

Than what these notes can give

And I know you want more for me

'Cause they never let you live

No, no

I know you want more
