My Mama Told Me

Tom Tom Club

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you



So if you're in trouble by rumors

Well I can tell you I'm angry at lies

I hear it - and it feels like murder

But I'll never get it right if I don't try



My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you



People think we should all be the same

As if the sky could be only blue

And if you wanna play that stupid game

Then you know that I am not the girl for you



Thinkin' 'bout it, makes me wanna cry

It makes no sense to say "Good-bye"

Baby, you're the one I adore

I don't wanna lose you no more. Oh, no!



Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma



My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you



We could walk as lovers hand in hand

And if it rains, well - never mind!

You can kiss me right here where we stand

And let them say, that love is truly color-blind



Thinkin' 'bout it, makes me wanna cry

It makes no sense to say "Good-bye"

Baby, you're the one I adore

You're the only one my heart beats for. Oh, yeah!



Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right Mamma



My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you

My Mamma told me love is true

Only if it returns to you



Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh! So right, Mamma!
