Lyrics

Some like a ball and chain Don't wanna stray too far Some like to fly high They wanna reach the stars Some have joined the ranks Love the things they once hated Pretend they're still in command But they ain't foolin' me Once that flame don't burn so bright It's slow death by candlelight Woo sé mama waiting on that corner Woo sé mama but you don't get me Woo sé mama waiting on that corner Woo sé mama but you don't get me Some like to shift the same Don't wanna share the cream Would hold the poor to blame And never feel guilty Once that flame don't burn so bright It's slow death by candlelight Woo sé mama waiting on that corner Woo sé mama but you don't get me Woo sé mama waiting on that corner Woo sé mama but you don't get me
