Mama Never Knew

歌詞

Those early days who said Patience never pays? It's a man's world we're living in But that don't mean you have to start giving in When he says, woman, there's a place for you That don't mean that's what you have to do There's a gift somebody gave to you It's called talking and saying out loud My mama never knew but I do, I do My mama never knew Oh she never knew But I do, yes I do Oh my mama she never knew Yes I do It was late, late in life When my mama started to fight She said man, boy what the hell are you Gonna break up this room with a word or two If it seems I ain't good enough for you Then you know just what you have to do Pack your bags honey, take your life with you Go on walk out that door I won't say it no more My mama never knew but I do, I do My mama never knew Oh she never knew But I do, yes I do Oh my mama she never knew She never knew Yes I do Tied to the cross Sometimes I feel like an anchor in your life I'm just a woman But more than a woman I have in my life She said, you bring me down You turn me around If there's a justice I want justice in this life My mama never knew but I do, I do My mama never knew but I do Yes I do Those early days who said Patience never pays? It's a man's world we're living in But that don't mean you have to start giving in When he says, woman, there's a place for you That don't mean that's what you have to do There's a gift somebody gave to you It's called talking and saying out loud My mama never knew but I do, I do My mama never knew Oh she never knew But I do, yes I do Oh my mama she never knew Yes I do Just like a woman She knows everything
