  • Wow there is something going down
    Like the storm in the sky
    I ain't gonna be played by your behavior
    How can I trust someone who's lying to me

    So bow out go now I said bow out and leave
    I said take your stuff and go
    'Cause you're not for me, no

    Mamma knows best when times get hard
    And Papa always has a joke to make me laugh
    See Mamma knows best when I feel down
    To bring me up and always keep my feet on solid ground

    See I ain't no old rag doll
    That you can pick up and drop
    And all of this inconsistent love yeah
    I think it's time that it S-T-O stops

    So bow out go now I said bow out and leave
    I said take your bags and go
    'Cause you're not for me, no

    Mamma knows best when times get hard
    And Papa always has a joke to make me laugh
    See Mamma knows best when I feel down
    To bring me up and always keep my feet on solid ground

    Just be the best my Daddy said to me
    Always use humour as your therapy
    Don't ever take life too seriously,
    Just do you 'cause you do you so perfectly

    See Mamma Mamma knows best
    See Daddy Daddy knows best
    See Mamma Mamma knows

    See Mamma knows best when times get hard
    And Papa always has a joke to make me laugh
    See Mamma knows best when I feel down
    To bring me up and always keep my feet on the ground

    See Mamma Mamma knows best
    See Daddy Daddy knows best
    See Mamma Mamma knows best
    See Mamma Mamma knows best
    See Daddy Daddy knows best
    See Mamma Mamma knows best Writer/s: ASHTON MILLARD, BABY ASH, JESSICA CORNISH
