Lyrics Overview - You're doin' great out there without me, baby Like a damn sociopath I've lost my mind, I've spent the night Cryin' on the floor of my bathroom But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it.
[Chorus]
When Mama said that it was
okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a
bed for the night
And it was okay
Mama told us we were good kids
And
Daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making
fun
'Cause we were good kids
[Verse 1]
Remember asking both my mom and dad
Why we never travelled
to exotic lands
We only ever really visit friends
Nothing to tell
when the summer ends
We never really went buying clothes
Folks were
passing on the stuff in plenty loads
New shoes once a year and then
Out
to play ball so we could ruin them
[Chorus]
When Mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite
alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was
okay
Mama told us we were good kids
And Daddy told us never listen
to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were
good kids
[Verse 2]
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t have it bad
I got enough
loving from my mom and dad
But I don’t think they really understood
When
I said that I wanted a deal in Hollywood
I told them I'd be singing on
TV
The other kids were calling me a wannabe
The older kids, they
started bugging me
But now they're all standing right in front of me
[Chorus]
When Mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite
alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was
okay
Mama told us we were good kids
And Daddy told us never listen
to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were
good kids
[Bridge]
I know which place I'm from
I know my home
When I’m in
doubt and struggling
That’s where I go
An old friend can give
advice
When new friends only know a half story
That’s why I always
keep them tight
And why I'm okay
I said I'm okay
You know what
my mama said?
You know what she told me?
[Chorus]
When Mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite
alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was
okay
Mama told us we were good kids
And Daddy told us never listen
to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were
good kids
[Outro]
When Mama said that it was okay
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa...
Dabdadadabdadad
bdaaa...
Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa...
When Mama said that it was
okay
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa...
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa...
Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa...
When
Mama said that it was okay
