Mama Never Knew Lyrics

Mama Never KnewThose early days whos aidPatience never pays?It's a man's world we're living inBut that don't mean you have to start giving inWhen he says, woman, there's a place for youThat don't mean that's what you have to doThere's a gift somebody gave to youIt's called talking and saying out loudMy mama never knew but I do, I doMy mama never knewOh she never knewBut I do, yes I doOh my mama she never knewYes I doIt was late, late in lifeWhen my mama started to fightShe said man, boy what the hell are youGonna break up this room with a word or twoIf it seems I ain't good enough for youThen you know just what you have to doPack your bags honey, take your life with youGo on walk out that door I won't say it no moreMy mama never knew but I do, I doMy mama never knewOh she never knewBut I do, yes I doOh my mama she never knewShe never knewYes I doTied to the crossSometimes I feel like an anchor in your lifeI'm just a womanBut more than a woman I have in my lifeShe said, You bring me downYou turn me aroundIf there's a justiceI want justice in this lifeMy mama never knew but I do, I doMy mama never knew but I doYes I doThose early days who saidPatience never pays?It's a man's world we're living inBut that don't mean you have to start giving inWhen he says, woman, there's a place for youThat don't mean that's what you have to doThere's a gift somebody gave to youIt's called talking and saying out loudMy mama never knew but I do, I doMy mama never knewOh she never knewBut I do, yes I doOh my mama she never knewYes I doJust like a womanShe knows everything
