Tried to sneak out without saying With my loudest record playing Ooh, my mama said, Look at this, you haven't done your bed My mama said, That's a thing that you should do instead
Yeah, 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 wanna live my life Wanna 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 you've been out again with Fred (My mama said) My mama said, Don't you lie, your cheeks are blushing red (My mama said) Oh I wanna live my life Wanna live my life La - la - la, la - la - la, life
I said, I can live without him. How I wish you wouldn't doubt him. Oh oh, my mama said, If you want to hurt me go ahead (My mama said) My mama said, I suppose you'd rather see me dead (My mama said) Oh I wanna live my life Wanna live my life La - la - la, la - la - la, life La - la - la, la - la - la, life La - la - la, la - la - la, life La - la - la, la - la - la, life
