Bm*: x200xx
My mama told me I should beware:
“I’ll tell you a story about mean people,
Who take use of innocent girls
Don’t mean to scare you, but be careful”
“Maybe think twice before you walk alone
Call somebody to take you home”
“Look over your shoulder when you go that way
This world might take you to a bad bad place”
Bridge:
Remember you told me
Things your mama said?
She never gave you enough affection
Let you run around
She didn’t know you’re bound to feel alone
And such neglection
You may feel the need to
Fix the past through me
And show over lovingness
Fear you feed me pushes me further
A world full of bad I can’t take much longer
“Hold tight, you’ll see I’m right
I don’t tell you nothing
Just to mess with your mind”
“Don’t be cold and act like you know
Some things my child
Make us all feel small”
Um mm mm um mmm mm
Um mmm mm mm mm mm mm
Remember you told me I should watch out?
“You see not all will have
A good intentions…”
“So keep your eyes stretched,
And sharp your senses”
“I’m terrified that you’ll lose direction”
“Just hold tight, you’ll see I’m right
I don’t tell you nothing
Just to mess with your mind”
“Don’t be cold and act like you know
Some things my child
Make us all feel small”
Take this mark back to where it came from
Leave me out, this is not mine
To carry with me through my life
Hope these scars can heal with time
Ummm mm mm ummm mm
Ummm mm mm mmmmm mm
Ummm mm mm ummm mm
Ummm mm mm mmmmm mm
“Hold tight, you’ll see I’m right
I don’t tell you nothing
Just to mess with your mind”
“Don’t be cold and act like you know
Some things my child
Make us all feel small”
But I’ll hold tight, and hope I’m right
I’ll see the good when I lose my sight
I’ll play right, and follow my light
I’ll scream what I need with my silent sound
