Mama

Mama, remember how you warned me that he would only hurt me? Remember how I didn't listen then, wasn't listening? Mama, you said I shouldn't see him, said I didn't need him Said, "A boy like that is gonna take your heart just to break your heart" Told me from the start, he would break my heart And I guess I was a bad girl But you just never understood How the lovin' of that bad boy Made your bad girl feel so good I'd sneak out my window we'd meet in the night Deep in the darkness he knew how to love me so right Mama, ooh, he was a wild one and, ooh, I was a child once But I will never be a child again after lovin' him oh, not after lovin' him Mama, I never knew a boy's touch Could ever teach me so much All those nights you didn't understand I was in good hands Mama, if I would have listened Ooh, the kissin' I'd be missin' I tell you, you were wrong as you could be He's still here with me Sneakin' out my window we meet in the night Deep in the darkness he knows how to love me so right Mama ooh, that boy's touch, need it so much Mama ooh, that wild one, need to feel him Mama ooh, that bad boy, he gives me such joy Mama, I'm such a bad girl, he gives me such joy --- Mama - Laura Branigan
