Mama Said

Paradise

Looking for paradise

Can't find it here

Can't find it there

Can't find it anywhere

Try again

Too tired to try again

How will I know

What will I see

When will it come to me

If there's somebody for everybody

Tell me why not for me

Nothing like my momma said that it would be

The stories I have read make it look easy

My Mr. Right was always wrong

He's good until he's gone

Why can't it be just like momma said?

This heart of mine

This bleeding heart of mine

I can't just keep losing a piece

Every time

I fall again

Don't think I could fall again

To love is to lose

Too broken to bruise

This heart of mine

If there's somebody for everybody

Tell me why not for me

It's nothing like my momma said that it would be

The stories I have read make it look easy

But my Mr. Right was always wrong

He's good until he's gone

Here we go again

Putting words inside my head

They all tell me

The same old lines again

Oh heaven help me

Cos I'm praying for a sign

Not just another line

Will he be familiar?

Will I know it from the second that I meet him?

Sometimes I wonder if I've already seen him

Am I a fool for believing it'd be that easy

Nothing like my momma said that it would be

The stories I have read make it look easy

But my Mr. Right was always wrong

He's good until he's gone

Why can't it be just like mama said?
