When I could not leave the house, every day felt like
Boeing 747's falling out the sky
I said, "I'm alright," thought I hid it well
But you knew I was going through hell
Growing up, you'd never leave me too long alone
Be the one to hold my hand when I crossed the road
Now I'm crossing off mistakes that I've gotta make
And mother knows the daughter she raised
Singing on the school runs, with the rooftop down
You said, "Darling, go ahead and make me proud," but
Every guy that I ever dated
Every bad friend you said you hated
I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best
But you were like the voice in my head
You're right there
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
Guess what I'm tryna say is
Mamma, you were right
Even when I was gone, I wasn't far away
Nothing that you could've done would've made me stay
I was only trying to grow, fell on my own hide
I guess I wasn't really that smart
Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down
You say, "Darling, go ahead and make me proud," but
Every guy that I ever dated
Every bad friend you said you hated
I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best
But you were like the noise in my head
You're right there
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
Guess what I'm tryna say is
Mamma, you were right
Guess what I'm tryna say is
Mamma, you were right
