My Mama Told Me Lyrics

My mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to you
My mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to youSo if you're in trouble by rumors
Well, I can tell you I'm angry at lies
I hear it and it feels like murder
But I'll never get it right if I don't tryMy mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to you
My mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to youPeople think we should all be the same
As if the sky could be only blue
And if you wanna play that stupid game
Then you know that I am not the girl for youThinkin' 'bout it, makes me wanna cry
It makes no sense to say "Good-bye"
Baby, you're the one I adore
I don't wanna lose you no more, oh, noOoh, ooh, ooh ooh, so right mamma
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, so right mammaMy mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to you

My mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to youWe could walk as lovers hand in hand
And if it rains, well, never mind
You can kiss me right here where we stand
And let them say, that love is truly color blindThinkin' 'bout it, makes me wanna cry
It makes no sense to say "Good-bye"
Baby, you're the one I adore
You're the only one my heart beats for, oh, yeah!Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, so right mamma
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, so right mammaMy mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to you
My mamma told me love is true
Only if it returns to youOoh, ooh, ooh ooh, so right mamma
