Mamma Told Me
Mamma told me
Only lonely people gonna hold me
Only those who can't help themselves, yeah
Only those who will need my shelter
Mamma tells me
I believe
I believe in Mamma trying
I believe in Father lying
I believe in lovers crying
I believe in education
True and good education
Mamma gave me music lessons
Now I play the saddest songs
Is that really what Mamma wanted?
For her baby to be so haunted?
Is that really what she intended?
Mamma said this
Hold me closer
Even though I know Mamma, she told me
You're just lonely
Help me help you
Even though I know you're just helpless
Mamma said this
I believe
I believe in conversation
In good communicating
I believe in letter writing
But now all I write are melodies (Melodies)
Simple sweet
That simply haunt me
Little rhythms that scold and hold me
Only because I know they are lonely
Mamma told me
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mamma, help me
I'm helpless, I'm helpless
I'm tempted, I'm tempted
Can't you see it's only loneliness
And it's helpless, oh, it's helpless
I took what Mamma said
And kept it forefront in my head
But now that Mamma's dead
I love how you are lonely
You help me help you hold me
I take what Mamma told me
And I read what Mamma wrote me
And I read it to you slowly
And you told me she was lonely
Oh, my Mamma, she was lonely
And that's all she really told me
Mamma told me
Only lonely people gonna hold me
Only those who can't help themselves, yeah
Only those who will need my shelter
Mamma tells me
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma (I believe in mammas trying)
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma (I believe in fathers lying)
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma (I believe in lovers crying)
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma (I believe in education)
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma (I believe in music lessons)
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma (I believe in conversations)
