Author And Composer: Maya Isacowitz
| Am Bm* Am Bm* Am |
| My mama told me I should beware: |
| Bm* Am Bm* Am |
| “I’ll tell you a story about mean people, |
| Bm* Am Bm* Am |
| Who take use of innocent girls |
| Bm* Am Bm* |
| Don’t mean to scare you, but be careful” |
| Am C |
| “Maybe think twice before you walk alone |
| Dm Am |
| Call somebody to take you home” |
| Am C |
| “Look over your shoulder when you go that way |
| Dm F |
| This world might take you to a bad bad place” |
| Bridge: |
| Am Bm* Am Bm* Am Bm* Am |
| Am Bm* Am |
| Remember you told me |
| Bm* Am |
| Things your mama said? |
| Bm* Am Bm* Am |
| She never gave you enough affection |
| Bm* Am |
| Let you run around |
| Bm* Am Bm* |
| She didn’t know you’re bound to feel alone |
| Am Bm* |
| And such neglection |
| Am |
| You may feel the need to |
| C D |
| Fix the past through me |
| Am |
| And show over lovingness |
| Am C |
| Fear you feed me pushes me further |
| D F |
| A world full of bad I can’t take much longer |
| Am Bb |
| “Hold tight, you’ll see I’m right |
| Dm |
| I don’t tell you nothing |
| Am |
| Just to mess with your mind” |
| Am Bb |
| “Don’t be cold and act like you know |
| Dm |
| Some things my child |
| F Am |
| Make us all feel small” |
| Bm* Am Bm* Am |
| Um mm mm um mmm mm |
| Bm* Am G Am |
| Um mmm mm mm mm mm mm |
| Am Bm* Am Bm* Am |
| Remember you told me I should watch out? |
| Bm* |
| “You see not all will have |
| Am Bm* Am |
| A good intentions…” |
| Bm* Am |
| “So keep your eyes stretched, |
| Bm* Am |
| And sharp your senses” |
| Bm* Am Bm* |
| “I’m terrified that you’ll lose direction” |
| Am Bb |
| “Just hold tight, you’ll see I’m right |
| Dm |
| I don’t tell you nothing |
| Am |
| Just to mess with your mind” |
| Am Bb |
| “Don’t be cold and act like you know |
| Dm |
| Some things my child |
| F |
| Make us all feel small” |
| Am C |
| Take this mark back to where it came from |
| Dm Am |
| Leave me out, this is not mine |
| Am C |
| To carry with me through my life |
| Dm F |
| Hope these scars can heal with time |
| Am C |
| Ummm mm mm ummm mm |
| D Am |
| Ummm mm mm mmmmm mm |
| Am C |
| Ummm mm mm ummm mm |
| D Am |
| Ummm mm mm mmmmm mm |
| Am Bb |
| “Hold tight, you’ll see I’m right |
| Dm |
| I don’t tell you nothing |
| Am |
| Just to mess with your mind” |
| Am Bb |
| “Don’t be cold and act like you know |
| Dm |
| Some things my child |
| F |
| Make us all feel small” |
| Am Bb |
| But I’ll hold tight, and hope I’m right |
| Dm Am |
| I’ll see the good when I lose my sight |
| Am Bb |
| I’ll play right, and follow my light |
| Dm Am |
| I’ll scream what I need with my silent sound |
