Mama

Mama, remember how you warned me that he would only hurt me?

Remember how I didn't listen then, wasn't listening?

Mama, you said I shouldn't see him, said I didn't need him

Said, "A boy like that is gonna take your heart just to break your heart"

Told me from the start, he would break my heart

And I guess I was a bad girl

But you just never understood

How the lovin' of that bad boy

Made your bad girl feel so good

I'd sneak out my window we'd meet in the night

Deep in the darkness he knew how to love me so right

Mama, ooh, he was a wild one and, ooh, I was a child once

But I will never be a child again after lovin' him oh, not after lovin' him

Mama, I never knew a boy's touch

Could ever teach me so much

All those nights you didn't understand

I was in good hands

Mama, if I would have listened

Ooh, the kissin' I'd be missin'

I tell you, you were wrong as you could be

He's still here with me

Sneakin' out my window we meet in the night

Deep in the darkness he knows how to love me so right

Mama ooh, that boy's touch, need it so much

Mama ooh, that wild one, need to feel him

Mama ooh, that bad boy, he gives me such joy

Mama, I'm such a bad girl, he gives me such joy
