Lyrics

Mama raised me right
It's 'cause of her my standards are so high, high
She's the reason why I'm still alone
'Cause no one comes close
Pretty faces are great
But I was raised by the best
No, I can't settle for less
If she don't love me like my mama
I ain't gonna give her my heart
If she ain't in it for the long run
Sayonara, baby, I'm gone (hm-hm-hm)
All of this temporary love got my heart sick
If it ain't always and forever, just forget it
I'm not looking for perfect (hm-mm)
No, that ain't the problem
Just want somebody to love me like my-
My, my, my mama
My, my, my mama
I don't need a lot
But if I'm gonna give away my heart (hm)
I just need to know that they won't leave it in the cold
When I'm growing old, when I'm growing old (hm)
Pretty faces are great
But I was raised by the best
Now I can't settle for less
If she don't love me like mama
I ain't gonna give her my heart (yeah)
If she ain't in it for the long run
Sayonara, baby, I'm gone (hm-hm-hm, yeah)
All of this temporary love got my heart sick
If it ain't always and forever, just forget it
I'm not looking for perfect (hmm-hm)
No, that ain't the problem
Just want somebody to love me like my-
My, my, my mama (hey-hey)
My, my, my mama
Who will love me like my-
My, my, my mama (whoa)
My, my, my mama (who will love me like)
