[Verse 1]
She walked in like a fire
Burned up the air
Mama said beware
But I couldn’t care
Eyes like honey
Sweet but sly
Mama saw trouble
I saw the sky
She’s got tattoos
She’s got dreams
Mama says nothing’s ever what it seems
I’m caught in between
Love and the fight
Mama says wrong
But she feels so right
[Prechorus]
Mama don’t know her laugh
Her smile
Her heart’s been broken
But she runs the mile
What’s it take
What’s the price to pay
For love to stay
For mama to say okay
[Chorus]
First love’s a gamble
First love’s a risk
Mama shakes her head
But I can’t resist
Girl
Can you win her
Can you change her mind
First love’s a battle
Love’s a climb
[Verse 2]
She cooks with spice
Her stories wild
Mama says she’s trouble
Not her style
But she’s the moon when the sun won’t shine
She’s the verse to my beat
She’s the perfect line
[Prechorus]
Mama don’t know her laugh
Her smile
Her heart’s been broken
But she runs the mile
What’s it take
What’s the price to pay
For love to stay
For mama to say okay
[Chorus]
First love’s a gamble
First love’s a risk
Mama shakes her head
But I can’t resist
Girl
Can you win her
Can you change her mind
First love’s a battle
Love’s a climb
[Verse 3]
Mama says time will show her truth
But love ain’t waiting
I’m living proof
If hearts collide
Can they make a truce
Or is love the bridge we’ll all refuse
[Prechorus]
Mama says
“that girl ain’t the one”
But my heart keeps saying she’s my sun
[Chorus]
Against the odds
She’s the one I choose
What’s a win if there’s no chance to lose
Mama can’t see the love in her eyes
But I swear it’s there
No disguise
Girl said
“I ain’t no perfect saint
But I’ll fight for you
No I won’t faint”
Mama crossed her arms
Said “we’ll see”
But my girl just smiled
Said “leave it to me”
[funky blues instrumental]
[Outro]
“Famous last words,” cause mama don’t play
I’m the only man in my Mama’s life
I’m afraid Mama plans to keep it that way
I’ll be an old man before she approves my wife.
