Mama Never Knew lyrics

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

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
