Your Mama Warned You - Eels

Your mama warned you, she was probably right

Said I be trouble all day and all night

She said my kind is not to take an old kind

She told them better was out there to find

Your mama warned you and she doesn’t needs words

A life with him high that’s for the birds

She said you listen and you take it from me You just can’t be what he needin to be But you can’t believe everything she says

There’s a home called heaven within my head

You know that I mean well

Your mama warned you with an arrogant tone

Don’t be a fool girl leave him alone

She so superior and so she just think

But I don’t trust someone who’s eyes never blink

No, you can’t believe everything she says

There’s a home called heaven within my head

You know that I mean well

All the things she’ll never understand

I’ll know she’ll never be a fan

But she’s not you

Your mama warned you, she was probably right

Said I be trouble all day and all night

She said my kind is not to take an old kind

She told them better was out there to find

And you can’t believe everything she says

There’s a home called heaven within my head

You know that I mean well

Your mama warned you.
