My Mama Said It

(album: Paper Plane - 2016)

wake up, face the day, nobody ever belongs
sometimes takes time just to leave it alone
stand out, try to be, I never get it too wrong
hard times, thinking what you're fixin to do

my mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash, don't you fret or mope
so just laugh when you're already lost, move, move along the road
my mama said it, my mama said it, I do believe that it's true
if it's all gonna work out in the wash, then I'm cleaning up this mess,
I think I'm starting with you!
I think I'm starting with you!

playing on the safe side, maybe you're his main side,
ain't no telling how to know so honey don't go rocking the boat
you don't see the downside with kicking on the south side
that way no one ever sees the secrets you been trying to keep
so tired of hiding out, but who do you want to be?

my mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash, don't you fret or mope
so just laugh when you're already lost, move, move along the road
my mama said it, my mama said it, I do believe that it's true
if it's all gonna work out in the wash, then I'm cleaning up this mess,
I think I'm starting with you!

so if your trepidation outweighs your fight
and if the consequences weigh down your mind,
I let the feeling change me from inside hold on tight

my mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash, don't you fret or mope
so just laugh when you're already lost, move, move along the road
my mama said it, my mama said it, I do believe that it's true
if it's all gonna work out in the wash, then I'm cleaning up this mess,
I think I'm starting with you!
I think I'm starting with you!
I think I'm starting with you!

my mama said it was alright, it was alright.
my mama said it was alright, it was alright.
I think I'm starting with you!
