"Momma Never Said" lyrics

Let's go

Did you ever wake up in the morning and saw what's on?
What did you do, what did you do?
Did you ever hold a hand in the pile [?]
What did you do, what did you do?

You took my love, you took my joy, you took everything I ever owned
Oh baby, you know I'm not gonna let you go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mama never said, oh, oh

Went down and stood on the welfare line
With a new born baby that was crying
My number says '68'
Oh Lord, I know, I know I have a long wait
Jimmy Rose was standing at my door
With a black cashmere sweater with a rose

Baby, I don't want you to make me wait
But mama never said, oh, that love would be like this
That love would be like this
Mama never said, oh, oh

Give you my left hand
Take the right one, cut it off
I've been thinking
Momma never said, momma never said

Momma
She never said no
Momma
She never cried no
Mama, she never said no
Mama, she never said no
Love would be like this

Oh, tell me no more, can you tell more no more
Oh, tell me no more, can you tell more no more

Momma never said
