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
