Mama Always Told Me


Mama always told me

girl live your life right

think on your dessions

you only have one life

Reach for your highest

girl try to reach the top

Mistakes are in he makins

but goals must never stop

Mama always told me

girl you'd better think twice

regrets are bitter feelings

there's no reverse in life

If I'd listened to my mama

and took her best advice

I would'nt be here untying

these knot's I've made in life
