Mama says, "Love is once in a lifetime

How you gonna find love at nights for the one time?"

See the thing about me, it's just not the right time

Mama says, "Son, you can't fight the sunshine"

I did not come here tonight

To be struck by your light

But here I stand in your glow

Should I stay? Should I go?

I wanna run, I wanna run from you

But mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool (no fool)

I wanna run, I wanna run from you

But mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool (no fool)

Mama says, "Lately I don't recognize you

But if this is who you wanna be you've got the right to"

(You buried your heart so guilt could never find you)

But 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 grave

Second chance is your name

I wanna run, I wanna run from you

But mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool (no fool)

I wanna run, I wanna run from you

But mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool (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 glow

Should I stay? Should I go?

I wanna run, I wanna run from you

But mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool (no fool)

I wanna run, I wanna run from you

But mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool (no fool)

Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no

Mama didn't raise no fool
