Mama Told Me 歌词

Mamma told me Only lonely people gonna hold me Only those who can't help themselves, yeah Only those who will need my shelter Mamma tells me I believe, I believe in mamma trying Believe in father lying I believe in lovers crying I believe in education Nurture and good education Mamma gave me music lessons Now I play the saddest songs Is that really what mamma wanted? For her baby to be so haunted? Is that really what she intended? Mamma said this Hold me closer Even though I'm a mamma She told me: You're just lonely Help me help ya Even though I know you're just helpless Mamma said this I believe, I believe in conversation In good communicating I believe in letter-writing But now all I write are melodies (melodies) Simple, sweet, that simply haunt me Little rhythms that scold and hold me Only 'cause I know they are lonely Mamma told me (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa) (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa) (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Mamma help me, I'm helpless, I'm helpless I'm tempted, I'm tempted Can't you see it's only loneliness? And it's helpless, oh it's helpless I took what mamma said And kept it forefront in my head But now that mamma's dead I love how you are lonely Help me help you hold me I take what mamma told me And I read what mamma wrote me And I read it to you slowly And you told me she was lonely Oh my mamma, she was lonely And that's all she really told me Mamma told me Only lonely people gonna hold me Only those who can't help themselves, yeah Only those who will need my shelter Mamma tells me Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa I believe in mammas trying I believe in fathers lying I believe in lovers crying I believe in education I believe in music lessons I believe in conversation I believe in letter-writing I believe in mammas trying I believe in fathers lying I believe in mammas crying Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa
