Mamma You Were Right

When I could not leave the house, every day felt like Boeing 747's falling out the sky I said, "I'm alright," thought I hid it well But you knew I was going through hell Growing up, you'd never leave me too long alone Be the one to hold my hand when I crossed the road Now I'm crossing off mistakes that I've gotta make And mother knows the daughter she raised Singing on the school runs, with the rooftop down You said, "Darling, go ahead and make me proud," but Every guy that I ever dated Every bad friend you said you hated I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best But you were like the voice in my head You're right there Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side Guess what I'm tryna say is Mamma, you were right Even when I was gone, I wasn't far away Nothing that you could've done would've made me stay I was only trying to grow, fell on my own hide I guess I wasn't really that smart Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down You say, "Darling, go ahead and make me proud," but Every guy that I ever dated Every bad friend you said you hated I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best But you were like the noise in my head You're right there Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side Guess what I'm tryna say is Mamma, you were right Guess what I'm tryna say is Mamma, you were right
