Mama I Gotta Brand New Thing Dont Say No by The Undisputed Truth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well Sunday morning I heard mama pray
From a room I heard her say
"Good Lord help my son find his way"
"Lord he's just a country boy"
"He thinks the world is great big toy"
And there ain't nothin' he can't do
If he wants to
He got himself a part time job
Saved his money and bought him a guitar
Played from sun up to sundown, hey, hey, hey
He don't wanna go to school no more
Won't do his household chores
But I must admit, the neighbors dig his sound
Well he's got some big ideas
He's talkin' 'bout leavin' here
Going to a place called New York City
And here's what he told me
[Chorus]
Mama, I gotta me a guitar (got a brand new thing let me go)
I'm on my way to New York, I wanna become a big star
Please let me go
Mama got it burnin' deep down inside (got a brand new thing let me go)
I wanna see my name in lights
Please please please don't say no
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "My son, my son you're only sixteen"
"I know being a star is your dream"
"But I think it's time you stop all this foolin'"
"And get to your schoolin'"
Living in a state of frustration
Stop preachin' that education
'Cause this guitar is gonna make me a king
Above everything else, listen
Diamonds from head to toe
First class everywhere we go
Just give me a chance to do my thing
[Chorus]
Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go
Mama (got a burning down deep inside)
I got a brand new thing (I wanna see my name in lights)
Don't say no (please, please, please, let me go)
Let me go (I can see it all now)
[Verse 3]
Champagne and caviar
A black chauffeured limousine car
Trips all around the world
And I'll have my choice of any girl
People lined up as far as you can see
Standing in line just to see me
Money pilin' up to the sky
There ain't nothin' that we can't buy
Just have a little faith in me
Mama I'm sure that you will see
That your son and his guitar are gonna go far
Oh
[Chorus]
Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go
Mama got a burning down deep inside
I wanna see my name in lights
(I got a brand new thing let me go)
Please please please let me go
Lord have mercy
Mama, I got me a guitar
(I got a brand new thing let me go)
I wanna be a big star
Let me go
Mama got a burning down deep inside
I wanna see my name in lights
(Please please please) please please please let me go
