Mama always tole me..
If I messed with fire, I'd get burnt
Being stubburn as a mule
I did,,and so I learnt

I had to learn the hard way
No easy way out for me!
You couldn't tell me bout life
I was too cocky dont you see?

I knew it all..or so I thought
Mama was just blowing out hot air
Heck..she didn't know much of nuthing
And if she did well..I didn't care

Now I wish I'd listened to my mama
She was right and I was wrong
But no one could tell me nuthing..
My convictions were too strong

My mama was a wise old owl
She tried to tell me straight
So the lessons that I learned bout life
Came just a tad too late...
