Lyrics

VERSE
Mama said, ?Son, don?t you wait around
For someone to come and sell you a dream.?
Mama, she don?t even know what it means.
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, I see.

VERSE
Mama said, ?Son, don?t you mess around.
The girls will all love you no matter what you do.?
Mama, you know that I?m learning from you.
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, that?s new.

CHORUS
Cheer up, cheer up, Mama..
Cheer up, I?m playing for you. Cheer up, cheer up, Mama.

VERSE
Mama said, ?Son, don?t you play around
With anyone who doesn?t play fair.?
Mama, I tell you, I?m really not scared.
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, who?s there?

VERSE
A little bit of time goes a long, long way
When you don?t even know what to do.
I?m working my fingers right through,
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, for you.

CHORUS
Cheer up, cheer up, Mama.
Cheer up, I?m praying for you.Cheer up, cheer up, Mama.

VERSE
Mama said, ?Son, don?t you look around
Or someone will come and steal your dreams.?
Mama, she knows just what that means.
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, I see.
Yeah, Mama, oh, Mama, I see.
