Lyrics

Mama told me to sing
Mama told me to dance
Mama told me to be everything
And take that chance
Mama told me to move
My mama told me groove
Told me give it all I got, 'cause I got a lot
Ain't that the truth

(Chorus)
Mama told me, "Girl, you better dance"
That's what she said
Mama told me, "Girl, you better dance"
That's right

Mama told me to live
Mama told me to learn
Mama told me to cry, told me to fight
Whenever I get burned
Mama told me to love
Mama told me to hug
Mama told me to find the one who gets it done
And never gives me up

Well, it's been a long time
But, I'm still trying to win this fight
And whenever it gets too hard
I know my mama's right
Singing...

(Chorus)

Whenever it's uphill
I get a thrill when I reach the top
'Cause I remember my mama told me
Girl, don't you ever stop
