BOY GEORGE - Mama Never Knew lyrics

Mama Never Knew

Those early days whos aid

Patience never pays?

It's a man's world we're living in

But that don't mean you have to start giving in

When he says, woman, there's a place for you

That don't mean that's what you have to do

There's a gift somebody gave to you

It's called talking and saying out loud

My mama never knew but I do, I do

My mama never knew

Oh she never knew

But I do, yes I do

Oh my mama she never knew

Yes I do

It was late, late in life

When my mama started to fight

She said man, boy what the hell are you

Gonna break up this room with a word or two

If it seems I ain't good enough for you

Then you know just what you have to do

Pack your bags honey, take your life with you

Go on walk out that door I won't say it no more

My mama never knew but I do, I do

My mama never knew

Oh she never knew

But I do, yes I do

Oh my mama she never knew

She never knew

Yes I do

Tied to the cross

Sometimes I feel like an anchor in your life

I'm just a woman

But more than a woman I have in my life

She said, You bring me down

You turn me around

If there's a justice

I want justice in this life

My mama never knew but I do, I do

My mama never knew but I do

Yes I do

Those early days who said

Patience never pays?

It's a man's world we're living in

But that don't mean you have to start giving in

When he says, woman, there's a place for you

That don't mean that's what you have to do

There's a gift somebody gave to you

It's called talking and saying out loud

My mama never knew but I do, I do

My mama never knew

Oh she never knew

But I do, yes I do

Oh my mama she never knew

Yes I do

Just like a woman

She knows everything
