Well, I saw you once

Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days

I should have flapped away

I needed to come back and show you

I needed to go back

I know it's wrong

I laughed to get along

[Chorus]

Mama just called

Says she's tucked away

Mama just called

Says she's tucked away another day

Mama just called

Says she's tucked away

Mama just called

Says she's extra sad today

Well, I spent the whole day yesterday

On clichés about love

Making me remember when your pushes became shoves

I wanted to come back and show you

Needed to go back

I know it's wrong

I laughed to get along

[Chorus]

So why'd you go and play my trust

Today's the same as yesterday, and I'm okay

???I take the time this weatherman did time again to get

along???

Since you've been gone

I'll get along anyway at all

Mama just called

Says she's tucked away

Mama just called

Says she's tucked away another day

Mama just called

Says she's tucked away

Mama just called

Says she's tucked away another day

(Tucked away)

(Tucked away)

(Tucked away)

(Tucked away)
