Mama's Fool Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Out on the road and a long, long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood
While my intentions, my intentions all are good?
Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should
Just like they shouldToo many times, too many times payin' the price, just for the thrill
Too many hearts, too many times, overkill
So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal
How many folks gettin' to be over the hillShe always told me things like those
Weren't made of sugar and spice
She always scolded me, "Don't let the same dog bite you twice"

Well I, Lord, I've just been fooled againMama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, well I've just been fooled againToo many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too
Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube
Hell of a dude, did it but don't have the time and the words for use
Too many rounds, too many times, overuseShe's always telling me
"Just take your time, always think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bite you twice"
Well I, hell, I've just been fooled againMama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool, she did not raise a fool
Mama I ain't no foolOh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time
Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the lineShe's always telling me
"Take my advice boy and just think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bite you twice"
Well I, Lord, I won't be fooled againMama she raised no fool, you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool, I've just been fooled again
Mama she ain't no fool, I may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Mama you crazy fool, may be crazy but I ain't no foolCrazy, but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy
Crazy, but I ain't no foolOut in the cold and a long long way from home

Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.

Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands, but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was in strong contrast for that time, characteristic of leather pants and flashy-make up.

The group released 6 albums with original music, latest of them entitled "Forever More" (2008) as well as a double-disc covers album "Real To Reel" and a number of compilations and live albums.

Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.

The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
