You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't
You know it makes sense child
To follow mama's style
She hasn't got it in for us
Growing up just takes a while
Growing up just takes a while
She moulds her puppet, ties on the strings
For the whole wide world to see
She'll drag you down and chain you up
Takes her lifetime to break free
Takes her lifetime to break free
Don't speak, don't think
Don't move, don't breathe
She'll take you down again
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't like that would you
So what if you're the problem child
You know that mama's always right
Don't you know what's right or wrong
When you're out of mama's sight
When you're out of mama's sight
Now tell her that it's time to leave
And you'll see mama cry
Just walk on right out the door
There's the whole wide world outside
There's the whole wide world outside
Don't speak, don't think
Don't move, don't breathe
She'll take you down again
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't like that would you
