Those early days who said
Patience never pays?
It's a man's world we're living in
But
that don't mean you have to start giving in
When he says, woman, there's a place for
you
That don't mean that's what you have to do
There's a gift somebody gave to you
It's called talking and saying out loud
My mama never knew but i do, i do
My mama
never knew
Oh she never knew
But i do, yes i do
Oh my mama she never knew
Yes i
do
It was late, late in life
When my mama started to fight
She said man, boy
what the hell are you
Gonna break up this room with a word or two
If it seems i
ain't good enough for you
Then you know just what you have to do
Pack your bags honey,
take your life with you
Go on walk out that door i won't say it no more
My mama
never knew but i do, i do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But i do, yes i
do
Oh my mama she never knew
She never knew
Yes i do
Tied to the
cross
Sometimes i feel like an anchor in your life
I'm just a woman
But more than a
woman i have in my life
She said, you bring me down
You turn me around
If there's a
justice
I want justice in this life
My mama never knew but i do, i do
My mama
never knew but i do
Yes i do
Those early days who said
Patience never
pays?
It's a man's world we're living in
But that don't mean you have to start giving
in
When he says, woman, there's a place for you
That don't mean that's what you have
to do
There's a gift somebody gave to you
It's called talking and saying out loud
My mama never knew but i do, i do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But i
do, yes i do
Oh my mama she never knew
Yes i do
