Mama

She said "I never want to 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 feeling 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 hoping 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 said you're going 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 playing 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 hoping 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 can't rewind Things don't seem to change although I try And I know why And I know why
