Lyrics
Mama's Fool
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out on the road, and a long long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood
While my intentions, my intentions all are good
Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should
Just like they should
Too many times, too many times payin' the price, just for the thrill
Too many hearts, too many times, overkill
So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal
How many folks gettin' to be over the hill
She always told me things, like those weren't made of sugar and spice
She always scolded me
"Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, lord I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool
You did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool
I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool
You did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool
Well, I've just been fooled again
Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too
Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube
Hell of a dude, did it but don't have the time and the words for use
Too many rounds, too many times, overuse
She's always telling me
"Just take your time, always think twice"
Forever scolding me
"Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, hell I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool
You did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool
I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool
She did not raise a fool
Mama I ain't no fool
Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time
Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the line!
She's always telling me
"Take my advice, boy, and just think twice"
Forever scolding me
"Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, lord I won't be fooled again
Mama she raised no fool
You did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool
I've just been fooled again
Mama she ain't no fool
I may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Mama you crazy fool
May be crazy but I ain't no fool
Crazy but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy
Crazy but I ain't no fool
Out in the cold, and a long long way from home
