lyrics

Don't try to tell me
That I should let go
Don't try to tell me
I don't wanna know
Why we always
Gotta play it by your rules
And why am I always
Left feeling like a fool

Don't try to tell me
That I should move on
Don't try to fool me
Who you tryna con
Why we always
Gotta play it by your rules
And why am I always
Left feeling like a fool
Like a Goddamn fool

My Mama always told me not to talk to those boys
My Mama always told me just to keep my legs closed
My Mama always told me not to talk to those boys
My Mama always told me, Mama always told me, Mama always told me well..

Sorry Mum but it got old
Too much temptation and I fold
Oh Mum you wouldn't be so proud
If you heard the things they're talking bout
About me
Always about me

Don't try to tell me
What's right, what's wrong
Don't try to tell me
To whom I belong
Coz I'm sick of always
Playing it by your rules
And I'm sick of always
Being treated like a fool
Like a Goddamn fool
Yeah like a fool you know like a fool
Like a fool..
