Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as a man?
[Verse 2]
And what about your dad?
Did you think of what he'll say?
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way?
[Verse 3]
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
[Verse 4]
Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
If she says forget about me
Do you think you'll understand?
[Verse 5]
And what about your friends?
Do you care what people say?
Will you accept the burdens
I know will surely come your way?
[Verse 6]
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
[Verse 7]
Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as a man?
[Verse 8]
We've got to stand tall
Can't stumble or crawl
We've got to be strong for love that's so right
[Verse 9]
Can't be wrong
And every day I see it grow
And I don't want to let it go
And that's why I gotta know
[Verse 10]
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
