My Mama Told Me

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

So if you're in trouble by rumors

Well I can tell you I'm angry at lies

I hear it - and it feels like murder

But I'll never get it right if I don't try

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

People think we should all be the same

As if the sky could be only blue

And if you want to play that stupid game

Then you know that I am not the girl for you

Thinkin' 'bout it, makes me want to cry

It makes no sense to say "Good-bye"

Baby, you're the one I adore

I don't want to lose you no more. Oh, no!

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

We could walk as lovers hand in hand

And if it rains, well - never mind!

You can kiss me right here where we stand

And let them say, that love is truly color-blind

Thinkin' 'bout it, makes me want to cry

It makes no sense to say "Good-bye"

Baby, you're the one I adore

You're the only one my heart beats for. Oh, yeah!

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right, Mamma!
