Mamma You Were Right lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I couldn't leave the house, every day felt like
Boeing 747s falling out the sky
I said, "I'm alright," thought I hid it well
But you knew I was going through hell

[Verse 2]
Growing up, you'd never leave me too long alone
Be the one to hold my hand when I cross the road
Now I'm crossing off mistakes that I've gone and made
A mother knows the daughter she raised

[Pre-Chorus]
Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down
You'd say, "Darling, go ahead and make me proud," but

[Chorus]
Every guy that I ever dated
Every bad friend you said you hated
I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best
But you were like the voice in my head
Yeah, right there
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
Guess all I'm tryna say is
Mama, you were right
[Verse 3]
Even when I was gone, I wasn't far away
Nothing that you could've done would've made me stay
I was only tryna grow, follow my own heart
I guess I wasn't really that smart

[Pre-Chorus]
Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down
You'd say, "Darling, go ahead and make me proud," but

[Chorus]
Every guy that I ever dated
Every bad friend you said you hated
I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best
But you were like the noise in my head
Yeah, right there
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
Guess all I'm tryna say is
Mama, you were right

[Outro]
Guess all I'm tryna say is
Mama, you were right
