Mama Help Me Lyrics - Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

If a child lives with money well, he learns to spend his time 

If a child lives with crazy he goes out of his mind 

I didn't live with nothin' that's worth talkin' about 

But I didn't live with nothin' no I never went without 

But there is one thing that I really need to know 

What do you have to live with before you learn to grow up 

Mama, mama, mama, mama help me 

Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do 

I've taken giant steps I've wlaked far away from home 

But I need a little help can I make it on my own 

Some days I can and some days I can't 

And some days I just don't know where it is I'm at 

Mama, mama, mama, mama help me 

Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do 

Mama, mama, mama, mama help me 

Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do 

Crazy mean crazy people on the street 

Mean crazy mean half the people that you meet 

You can't love 'em you can't trust 'em 

You can't take 'em anywhere 

You can't hold 'em you can't tell 'em 

That you ever really care 

Tell me where will I go when I cannot go to you 

Where I don't know when you go I'm going too 

Mama, mama, mama, mama help me 

Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do 

Mama, mama, mama, mama help me 

Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do 

Mama, mama, mama, mama help me 

Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do 

Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy help me 

Daddy, daddy, daddy tell me what to do
