Lyrics
MY MOMMA SAID
WORDS AND MUSIC:
MONTE THOMAS
VERSE;
SLEEPING ALONE NIGHTS, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIFE
MY LOVE IS GONE, SHE'S GONE FOR GOOD
I WANT HER BACK JACK, AND IT'S A FACT JACK
I'D DO ANYTHING FOR HER TO RETURN
VERSE:
I WRITE HER LETTERS, MAKES ME FEEL BETTER
BUT SHE DON'T ANSWER MY LETTERS NO MORE
FLOOD HER WITH PHONE CALLS, BUT SHE AIN'T HOME AT ALL
ONE DAY I HOPE SHE'S GONNA KNOCK ON MY DOOR
CHORUS:
MY MOMMA SAID LIFE'S A BURNING FIRE
IT'S FILLED WITH THE FLAMES OF LOVE AND DESIRE
AND I KNOW THAT MY MOMMA WASN'T LYING
BUT THE FLAMES OF MY LOVE ARE SLOWLY DYING
VERSE:
THEY WERE A WALKIN' AND HE WAS A TALKIN'
HE OPENED HIS CAR DOOR AND LET HER IN
HE WAS A SMOOTH GUY, TELLIN' A SWEET LIE
NOW I KNOW WHERE MY BABY'S BEEN
VERSE:
LIFE IS A STRANGE THING, IT HAS NO MEANING
WITHOUT LOVE IT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH
IF THERE'S NO FEELING, IT AIN'T APPEALING
TO LIVE LIFE WITHOUT A WOMAN'S TOUCH
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
PLEASE MOMMA PLEASE, TELL ME EVERYTHING IS FINE
BECAUSE I TfllNK I'VE REACHED THE END OF THE LINE
AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME IS FADING INTO BLACK.
AND I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER, MAKE IT BACK
REPEAT CHORUS
