Mama Told Her by Billy Thorpe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's just a girl from the country
Standin' on the city street, yeah
Lookin' for someone to talk to
Waitin' for a man to meet
Slippin' in and out of the lamplight
Smoothin' down her hair with her hand
Makin' like she's always lived there
She needs someone to hold her hand

[Bridge]
And then along came clash in a Cadillac
Speedin' down broadway 'til they brought him back
He picked her up for a night on the town
She ain't got no chance to get her feet off the ground

[Chorus]
And they're screamin' for mercy
Shoutin' for help
He's got her climbin' the walls
She can't stop herself
Cryin' for his love
He got her grievin' for more
And there was something inside
She never felt before
[Verse 2]
Mama told her
Mama told her
You've got to live it clean
You're just another girl thats just been a hanging round
And a man like that is bound to get you down

[Bridge]
And then late at night he's back on the door
Sayin' hey you sweet mama gonna give you some more
Well he's smacking his lips and breaking her whip
She can't say no until she gets her thrill

[Chorus]
Screamin' for mercy
Cryin' for help
He's got her climbin' the walls
She can't stop herself
Cryin' for his love
He got her beggin' for more
And there was something inside of her
She never felt before

[Outro]
Mama told her
Mama told her
Mama told her
Mama told her
Mama told her
Mama told her
