My Mama Said

Tried to sneak out without saying With my loudest record playing Ooh, my mama said, "Look at this, you haven't done your bed" My mama said, "That's a thing that you should do instead" Then I did what she had told me Dying for my friend to hold me Ooh, my mama said, "Try and get one thing into your head" My mama said, "Pa and me, we give you room and bed" How I want to live my life Want to live my life La-la-la, la-la-la, life In the morning she said "Listen" Ooh, I felt like in a prison Yeah, my mama said, "I know you've been out again with Fred" (My mama said) My mama said, "Don't you lie, your cheeks are blushing red" (My mama said) Oh I want to live my life Want to live my life La-la-la, la-la-la, life I said I can live without it How I wish you wouldn't doubt it Ooh, my mama said, "If you want to hurt me go ahead" (My mama said) My mama said, "I suppose you'd rather see me dead" (My mama said) Oh I want to live my life Want to live my life La-la-la, la-la-la, life [Repeat: x4] --- My Mama Said - ABBA
