Mama

She said, "I never wanna leave you but I gotta go"

And then she left me for a reason that I'll never know

But I don't mind, I'm feelin' fine

My mama told me all the things that I already know

Sometimes I feel it in my bones just like an animal

She's on my mind, I guess I'm not alright

But I've been through this shit so many times

And I can't deny, I'll give you one more try

I'm hopin' things go differently this time

'Cause she could be right, she could be right

Mama told me, "Play it cool"

But I can't help if I'm a fool

And in my mind there's only you

'Cause happy endings I can't choose

I guess I'll play it cool

She says, "You're goin' way too fast, you gotta take it slow

This love is like a plant we gotta let it grow"

And I said, "Why? Sounds like a waste of time"

I'm getting tired of tryna be what you want me to be

But mama told me that I can't keep playin' hide and seek

She's on my mind, I'm not gonna lie

But I've been through this shit so many times

And I can't deny, I'll give you one more try

I'm hopin' things go differently this time

'Cause she could be right, she could be right

Mama told me, "Play it cool"

But I can't help if I'm a fool

And in my mind there's only you

'Cause happy endings I can't choose

I guess I'll play it cool

I call the same old things so many times

Some things in life you just cant rewind

Things don't seem to change although I try

And I know why and I know why
