[Chorus]Mama said that it was okayMama said that it was quite alrightOur kinda people had a bed for the nightand it was okay[Próxima Parte]Mama said that we were good kidsand daddy told us never listen to the onespointing nasty fingers and making fun'cause we were good kids[Verse]Remember asking both my mom and dadWhy we never travel to exotic landsWe only ever really visit friendsNothing to tell when the summer endsWe never really went buying clothes'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loadsNew shoes once a year and thenOut to play ball so we could go in them[Chorus]When mama said that it was okay[Próxima Parte]Mama told us we were good kids[Verse]Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it badI got enough loving from my mom and dadBut I don't think they really understoodWhen I said that I wanted to deal in HollywoodI told 'em I'd be singing on tvThe other kids were callin' me a wannabeThe older kids they started bugging meBut now they're all standing right in front of me[Chorus]When mama said that it was okay[Próxima Parte]'cause we were good kids[Bridge]I know which place im fromI know my homeWhen Im in doubt and strugglingthats where I'll goAn old friend can give advicewhen new friends only know the half storyThat's why I always keep 'em tightAnd while you're okayI said I'm okay(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)[Chorus]When mama said that it was okay[Próxima Parte]'cause we were good kids
