"Mama Said" lyrics

"Mama Said"
(originally by The Shirelles)

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this mama said
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this mama said

One day I went walking
And everything was fine
Then I met someone
And I almost lost my mind

But mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this mama said
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this my mama said

My eyes were wide open
But all I could see
Chapel bells were ringin'
For everyone but me

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this mama said
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this my mama said

And then she said
One day you'll find someone
Who'll look at you this way
Then you won't have to worry
If some get away

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this mama said
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this my mama said
There'll be days like this mama said
