lyrics

MAMA TOLD ME
( Nathalie Bossard )

Mama, told me
That I should fight
To realise my dreams, Oh ! but why do people treat me unkind
I just want to be fine
Is there anybody here, who only wants to be mine

PAPA TOLD ME GIRL YOU MUST TRY
MAMA TOLD ME I SHOULD FIGHT
PEOPLE SAID : DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME
TAKE THAT TRAIN FURTHER DOWN THE LINE

Papa told me
Girl you must always try
To walk all over mountains, Oh ! but why should I always climb
And reach the clear blue sky
Is there anybody here, who only wants to be mine

My love told me
Don’t listen to them ‘ fools
We should stay together, And ! break down all the rules
Would it be so magic, so !
There ain’t nobody here no more, to tell me what to do
