Tried to sneak out without saying
With my loudest record playing
Ooh, my mama said, Look at this, you havent done your bed
My mama said, Thats a thing that you should do instead
Then I did what she had told me
Dying for my friend to hold me
Ooh, my mama said, Try and get one thing into your head
My mama said, Pa and me, we give you room and bed
How I want to live my life
Want to live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
In the morning she said Listen
Ooh, I felt like in a prison
Yeah, my mama said, I know youve been out again with Fred
(My mama said)
My mama said, Dont you lie, your cheeks are blushing red
(My mama said)
Oh I want to live my life
Want to live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
I said I can live without it
How I wish you wouldnt doubt it
Ooh, my mama said, If you want to hurt me go ahead
(My mama said)
My mama said, I suppose youd rather see me dead
(My mama said)
Oh I want to live my life
Want to live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life [Repeat: x4]
