  • Woah (Oh)
    Eh (Oh)

    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 in your ?
    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

    Woah (Thank you mama, thank you mama)
    Eh (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 come, 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 come, here tonight
    To be struck by your light
    But here I stand in your ?
    Should I stay or 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
    Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
    Mama didn't raise no fool
    Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
    Mama didn't raise no fool
    Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
    Mama didn't raise no fool
    Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
    Mama didn't raise no fool
    Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
    Mama didn't raise no fool
    Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
    Mama didn't raise no fool
    Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
