I don't know how I'm gonna tell you I can't play with you no more I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me My friend, the boy next door
I can't believe what people sayin' You're gonna let your hair hang down I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long You're in the darker side of town
And when I'm out I see you walking Why don't your eyes see me Could it be you've found another game to play What did mama say to me
That's the way Oh, that's the way it ought to be, oh oh, yeah now Mama, ma ma ma ma ma, said That's the way it ought to stay, ahhhh, ooh, ahhhh, ahhhh
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river And weren't those tears that filled your eyes And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying Had they got you hypnotized, don't you even think about it
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers And all that lives is born to die So I say to you that nothing really matters And all you do is stand and cry
I don't know what to say about it When all you ears have turned away But now's the time to look and look again at what you see Is that the way it ought to stay
That's the way That's the way it oughta be, yeah That's the way it's gonna stay, ah yeah, ah hah, ho ho, ahhhhh Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
