The Shirelles Mama Said Lyrics:
Mama said there'll be days like this.
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
(Mama said, mama said.)
Mama said there'll be days like this.
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
(Mama said, mama said.)
I went walkin' the other day, ye-ay-ee-ah-yay,
Everything was goin' fine.
I met a little boy named Billy-Joe,
And then almost lost my mind.
Mama said there'd be days like this,
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
(Mama said, mama said.)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
My eyes were wide open,
But all that I could see is,
The chapel bells were tollin',
For everyone-a but-a me.
But I don't worry 'cause...
Mama said there'll be days like this,
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
(Mama said, mama said.)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
And then she said, someone will look at me,
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/Hjzd ]Like I'm lookin' at you, one day.
And then I might find,
I don't want you any old way.
So, I don't worry, 'cause...
Mama said there'll be days like this,
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
(Mama said, mama said.)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey.)
Don't you worry.
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey.)
Don't you worry, now.
(Mama said, mama said, hey, hey.)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
"There'll be days like this," my mama said.
(Mama said, mama said.)
[Fade.]
Mama said there'll be days like this,
"There'll be-a days like this," my mama said.
