Duck and dive to survive
Daddy lied mama cried
Things are never learned in school
Guess they tought me all too soon
Mama didnt raise no fool
Feel alone daddys gone
Didnt ask for this broken home
You heard the rumors now there true
Could have easily been you
Mama didnt raise no fool
Suddenly it becomes plain to see
Thats the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didnt raise no fool
Mama didnt raise no fool
Mama didnt raise no fool
Mama didnt raise no fool
Dry your eyes take my hand
Hes not coming back
So understand
Dont break an unwritten rule
Stick together play it cool
Mama didnt raise no fool
Suddenly it becomes plain to see
Thats the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didnt raise no fool
Mama didnt raise no fool mama didnt raise no fool
Suddenly it becomes plain to see
Thats the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didnt raise no fool
Mama didnt raise no fool
Mama didnt raise no fool
Mama didnt raise no fool
