Now I Know What Mama Meant

She used to say “you will come along

And everything will change”

But then you walked into my life

I’d never been the same.

No more running ‘round town,

No more staying out all night.

Girl, I finally found that feeling,

I guess momma was right.

Such a sweet emotion, you pour it all over me

Girl, it’s my mind blowing, baby, I can barely breathe.

The only one I ever wanna love, the only way I ever wanna leave

One look, one touch, one kiss and that was it

Now I know what mama meant.

She used to tell me how it feels when the feeling’s right

But mama never told me when I felt you girl, I wanna feel you all night.

Now I’m under your spell, I surrender my soul

And if I ever have to leave, you’re the only place I wanna go.

Sweet emotion, you pour it all over me

Girl, it’s my mind blowing, baby, I can barely breathe.

The only one I ever wanna love, the only way I ever wanna leave

One look, one touch, one kiss and that was it

Now I know what mama meant.

Sweet emotion, you pour it all over me

Girl, it’s my mind blowing, baby, I can barely breathe.

The only one I ever wanna love, the only way I ever wanna leave

One look, one touch, one kiss and that was it.

You’re the only thing, girl, I don’t ever wanna quit

Now I know what mama meant.

Mama told me

She used to say you tear them along

And everything will change, and it did, girl.

She used to tell me the way it feel, and it felt good.

Like she said it would.
