Well every trick in the book that you want to play
You better have a good answer to get your way
'Cause all the tricks that you pulled, and all the people you fooled
Well you started something
Well all the people that liked you just went on home
And when they could've stood by you, you stood alone
'Cause all the people you fooled and all the people you took
Well you started something
And all the signs in your head call out you're dead
But all the preachers went home and left you alone
And all the women that liked you, you fooled around
And when you got them inside you, you turned them down
'Cause all the women you fooled, and all the women you took
Well you started something
And all the lines in your head call out you're dead
And all the teachers went home and left you alone
Monkeys to the left, monkeys feeling right at home
Too many people, too many walking alone
And though they say they don't like it, you know they really don't mind
If you started something
But all the signs in your head, call out your dead
And all the teachers went home and left you alone(Tom Baird/Tommy Chong)
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as I am
And what about your dad
Did you think of what he'll say
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
If she says forget about me
Do you think you'll understand
And what about your friends
Do you care what people say
Will you accept the burdens
I know will surely come your way
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as I am
Oh, we've got to stand tall
Tumble or crawl
We've got to be strong
For a love that's so right
Can't be wrong
And everyday I see it grow
I don't wanna let it go
That's why I gotta know
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
