Well listen up to what I say
I wasn t born just yesterday
I ve been down the road and back a time or two
Well this should come as no surprise
You can t pull the wool over my eyes
I ve had it up to here and now I m through

And I m sick and tired of fools
Tired of playing by the rules
Time to strut my cool
Cause mama didn t raise no fool

Chorus:
Mama didn t raise no fool
Well my mama didn t raise no fool
You can t tell me what to do
Cause my mama didn t raise no fool

What goes around comes back around
And I ve been around a few times by now
I ve seen it all before and I ve paid my dues
So don t tell me no stories
And don t tell me no lies
Cause my mother brought me up to be a bad mother too

And I m sick and tired of fools
Tired of playing by the rules
Time to strut my cool
Cause my mama didn t raise no fool

Mama didn t raise no fool
Well my mama didn t raise no fool
You can t tell me what to do
Cause mama didn t raisemama didn t raise
Mama didn t raise no fool

Chorus
Chorus (repeat)
Chorus (repeat)
