Mamma Told Me Lyrics - Mother Mother

Mamma told me 

Only lonely people gonna hold me 

Only those who cant help themselves, yeah 

Only those who will need my shelter 

Mama tells me 

I believe, I believe in mamma trying 

I believe in father lying 

I believe in lovers crying 

I believe in education, nurture and good education 

Mama gave me music lessons, 

Now I play the saddest songs 

Is that really what mamma wanted? 

For her baby to be so haunted? 

Is that really what she intended? 

Mamma said this: 

Hold me closer 

Even though Im a mamma 

She told me: Youre just lonely 

Help me help ya 

Even though I know youre just helpless 

Mamma said this 

I believe, I believe in conversation 

In good communicatin 

And I believe in laughter, writing 

But now all I write are melodies (melodies) 

Simple, sweet, and simply haunt me 

Little rhythms that scold and hold me 

Only cause I know they are lonely 

Mamma told me 

(ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa 

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa ooh 

ooh ooh ooh 

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa 

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa ooh 

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 

Mamma help me, Im helpless, Im helpless 

Im tempted, Im tempted 

Cant you see its only loneliness 

And its helpless, oh its helpless 

I took what mamma said and kept it forefront in my head 

And now that mammas dead 

I love how you are lonely 

Help me help you hold me 

I take what mamma told me 

And I read what mamma wrote me 

And I read it to you slowly 

And you told me she was lonely 

Oh my mamma, she was lonely 

And its all she really told me 

Mamma told me 

That lonely people gonna hold me 

Only those who cant help themselves, yeah 

Only those who will need my shelter 

Mamma tells me 

(ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa 

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa 

I believe in mammas trying 

I believe in fathers lying, 

I believe in lovers crying, 

I believe in education, 

I believe in music lessons, 

I believe in conversation, 

I believe in letter-writing, 

I believe in mammas trying 

I believe in fathers lying 

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa 

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-maa)
