Mama Lied Songtext
von Tower of Power

Lola likes her men in the palm of her hand
That′s the way she's got it planned, Lola (Lola)
And James ain′t ashamed when he's running his game
Long as he's not to blame, go James (go James)

As the world is going through its changes
You better keep your eyes open wide
′Cause in the middle of all this strangeness
I guess someones′s singin', "Mama lied"

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied

My Mama don′t mind, when I need to unwind
It's a sign of good times, good time (good times)
And if I choose to get loose, I don′t need to get used
I'm tellin′ the truth, no lie (no lie)


Maybe you don't like, what's going on ′round you
And the world goes slidin′ by
It's not exactly what your Mama told you
And you′re wondering, why your Mama lied

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama

As a little boy, you were overjoyed
With everything your Mama told you (told you)
Not at 35, you start to realize
Life ain't the fairytale your Mama sold you

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied


Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied

Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied, Mama lied
Mama lied
