Does Your Mama Know About Me Lyrics - Love Child - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Does your mama know about me? 

Does she know just what I am? 

Will she turn her back on me 

Or accept me as I am? 

And what about your dad? 

Did you think of what he'll say? 

Will he be understanding 

Or does he think the usual way? 

Maybe I shouldn't worry 

But I've been through this before 

And I'd like to get things straight 

Before I'm knocking on your door 

Does your mama know about me? 

Does she know just what I am? 

If she says forget about me, 

Do you think you'll understand? 

And what about your friends? 

Do you care what people say? 

Will you accept the burdens 

I know will surely come your way? 

Maybe I shouldn't worry 

But I've been through this before 

And I'd like to get things straight 

Before I'm knocking on your door 

Does your mama know about me? 

Does she know just what I am? 

Will she turn her back on me 

Or accept me as I am? 

Oh, we've got to stand tall, 

Tumble, and crawl 

We've got to be strong 

For a love that's so right 

Can't be wrong 

And every day, I see it grow 

I don't want to let it go 

That's why I gotta know 

Does your mama know about me? 

Does she know just what I am? 

Does your mama know about me? 

Does she know just what I am? 

(repeat and fade out)
