Mama Said
Lukas Graham
Mama said that it was EbokayBb
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the Gmnight
and it was okayF
Mama said that we were Ebgood kidsBb
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good Fkids
Remember asking both my Gmmom and dad
Why we Ebnever travel to Bbexotic lands
We only ever really visit Gmfriends
Nothing to Ebtell when the Bbsummer ends
We never really went Gmbuying clothes
'cause Ebfolks were passing on the stuff in Bbplenty loads
New shoes once a Gmyear and then
Out to Ebplay ball so we Bbcould ruin them
When mama said that it was EbokayBb
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the nighGmt
and it was Fokay
Mama told us we were Ebgood kidBbs
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good kidFs
Don't get me wrong, I didn't Gmhave it bad
I got enough Ebloving from my Bbmom and dad
But I don't think they really Gmunderstood
When I said that I Ebwanted to deal in BbHollywood
I told 'em I'd be singing Gmon tv
The other kids Ebwere callin' Bbme a wannabe
The older kids they started Gmbugging me
But now they're all Ebstanding right in Bbfront of me
When mama said that it was EbokayBb
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the nighGmt
and it was Fokay
Mama told us we were Ebgood kidBbs
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good kidFs
GmI know which Cplace im from
EbI know my Bbhome
GmWhen I'm in Cdoubt and struggling
Ebthat's wheBbre I'll go
An old Gmfriend can give Cadvice
when new Ebfriends only know the half Bbstory
That's why I Gmalways keep 'em tighCt
And while you're Ebokay
I said I'm Dokay
(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)
When mama said that it was EbokayBb
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the nighGmt
and it was Fokay
Mama told us we were Ebgood kidBbs
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good kidFs
