Mama Never Knew Lyrics - Boy George

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
