Mama Said Lyrics

When I was just a kid at school

I was no teachers pet

Popularity wasn't high on my list

Back then my fists were my only friends

Playground was a battlefield

War declared every day

I never got the chance to dance

Too busy chasing tears away

And I remember Mama called to me

Her bags were packed tears in her eyes

She had a black suitcase a broken heart

She kissed me goodbye for life

Watched Mama walk down the road

She never once turned back

The colour left my world

And every days been black

I wish I could have held her a little longer in my arms

Losing her made me stronger

But it also it broke my heart

My mama said Baby

Don't Look Back today

It wasn't till many years later

Out of the blue I got the call

You found your peace at last beneath gentle grass

God knows you deserved so much more

It's a funny feeling standing here by your grave

So much left unspoken

If you were here now what would you say

I wish I could have held you a little longer in my arms

Losing me made you stronger

But it also it broke my heart

My Mama said Baby

One day you'll understand maybe

My Mama Said Baby

Don't look back today

Hm

Don't look back

Ah
