My mama said she don’t like what I’m doing

Said baby you have got to move

I told her that this wasn’t of my choosing

Your words don’t matter, it’s no use

 

She said don’t you blame this on no mental illness

Just do things like you used to

Mama, I don’t know how to say this

This ain’t up to me nor you

 

I’m sorry for not meeting your expectations

It’s the same story

And you’re still worried

 

I’m sorry for still being a disappointment

But I’m telling you

Please just let it go

 

Well, that wasn’t much of a “talk” was it

Still I’m begging you

Please just let it go

Trust me you don’t wanna know

 

I’m so sick of hurting her

But explaining is worse

We keep coming over and over

I feel like I’ve run out of words

 

Even if I deny it to your face

That doesn’t make me better

As much as you will try to erase

I’m still the same as ever

 

I’m sorry for not meeting your expectations

It’s the same story

And you’re still worried

 

I’m sorry for still being a disappointment

But I’m telling you

Please just let it go

 

Well, that wasn’t much of a “talk” was it

Still I’m begging you

Please just let it go

Trust me you don’t wanna know

 

Mama, I can hold a grudge

And I’ve got nothing against you

I just hate it when you ask so much

What am I supposed to do

 

If even your love ain’t enough

Then the end is never

Even if I look tough

How am I supposed to answer

 

I’m sorry for not meeting your expectations

It’s the same story

And you’re still worried

 

I’m sorry for still being a disappointment

But I’m telling you

Please just let it go

 

Well, that wasn’t much of a “talk” was it

Still I’m begging you

Please just let it go

Trust me you don’t wanna know

 

I’m sorry for not meeting your expectations

It’s the same story

And you’re still worried

 

I’m sorry for still being a disappointment

But I’m telling you

Please just let it go

 

Well, that wasn’t much of a “talk” was it

Still I’m begging you

Please just let it go

I just don’t want you to know
