Basia - Oh Mama lyrics

Oh mama, trust me Please mama, listen I know you love me I know you worry (I do) But this is my life Can you accept it I'm not a baby So let me live it My rebel-baby You play with fire Trust my experience Quit your resistance These times are different This world can thrill and scare you too I see the danger Let me protect you Oh mama, help me Don't try to fight me I need to stumble I have to falter Do you remember (today, why today?) You were in my place I’m your creation Learnt from the master This independence is overrated (mama, trust me) Nothing to wish for Nothing to rush to It's so much safer Under the wings of mother's love That's where I want you I'd like to be there too Why does it have to be today?
