Your Mama Told You

Your Mama Told You - MEMI/Staffan Carlén

Composed by：Memi

In your purple Toyota

The morning is waking slow

And the traffic's not moving

There's a gas leak in North town

And they can't seem to fix it up

So they call you on Monday morning

You've been working two jobs

Still bills are stacking up in this pile on the coffee table

Nothing's ever enough

Money isn't worth all the life that you're paying

Wonder when it all stops

When nobody want more when we're done taking all for granted

Nothing's ever enough nothing's ever enough oh oh

And it's all going faster

And you can't get a hold of things

And you're longing and searching for something more

And you try to remember all the good things

That your mama told you

It turns around you see

It takes time

But you just can't believe that

Believe that

No you just can't believe that

Well it feels like the world is against you somehow

And your wheels just keep on spinning

Think you promised yourself once that it'd all be worth it

Now you're doubting your ambition

You've been working two jobs

Still bills are stacking up in this pile on the coffee table

Nothing's ever enough

Money isn't worth all the life that you're paying

Wonder when it all stops

When nobody want more when we're done taking all for granted

Nothing's ever enough nothing's ever enough oh oh

And it's all going faster

And you can't get a hold of things

And you're longing and searching for something more

And you try to remember all the good things

That your mama told you

It turns around you see

It takes time

But you just can't believe that

Believe that

No you just can't believe that

Ooh you just wanna be happy wild and young and free

Ooh you just wanna be everything you intended to be

While it's all going faster

And you can't get a hold of things

And you're longing and searching for something more

And you try to remember all the good things

That your mama told you

It turns around you see

It takes time

But you just can't believe that

Believe that

No you just can't believe that

Believe that

No you just can't believe that
