Mama Told Me Lyrics

It's not taking me down
Gonna stand right up
I could take it to town
Baby but I'm not
I'm not looking left or right
That turns right out to be fine
I'm not taking another fight
And you know this is not the place to
Die because my
Mama told me
This will be a good day
This will be a nice day
You can hold me
Better in a good way
You don't need to tie me
On the way to your soul
I've got to pass the night
Take your time to break out now
Cause the time is right
I'm not looking left or right
That turns right out to be fine
I'm not taking another fight
And you know this is not the place to
Die because my
Mama told me
This will be a good day
This will be a nice day
You can hold me
Better in a good way
You don't need to tie me
Mama told me
This will be a good day
This will be a nice day
You can hold me
Better in a good way
You don't need to tie me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
