Mamma Knows Best
Jessie J · Who You Are [2011]
Like the storm in the sky
I ain't gonna be played by your behavior
How can I trust someone who's lying to me, so
Bow out, go!
Now I said bow out, leave!
I said take your stuff and go,
'Cuz you're not for me
Mama knows best when times get hard
And papa always has a joke to make me laugh
Mama knows best when
I feel down, to bring me up
And always keep my feet on the ground
Say I know know know
That you can pick up and drop,
And all of this inconsistent love
I think it's about time that it stops
So bow out, go!
Now I said bow out, leave!
I said take a bow and go,
'Cuz you're not for me
Mama knows best when times get hard
And papa always has a joke to make me laugh
Mama knows best when
I feel down, to bring me up
And always keep my feet on the ground
Just keep the best of ma'
Daddy said to me
Always use humor as your therapy, yeah
Don't ever take life too seriously,
Just do you, 'cuz you do you so perfectly
Mama, mama knows best
Daddy, daddy knows best
