I Should Listen To Mamma
why put off til tomorrow what you can do today
that's something my mom use to always say
i never gave it much consideration at the time
now i see pretty much what she had in mind
she use to tell me dont be in such a rush to get old
try to stay young as long as you can
but for some reason i needed to be in complete control
i was in such a hurry to become a man
mom was always there with some good advice
to help me out of a rut
i was so determined to live my own life
i know i was a pain in the butt
if only i had listen to some of the things she said
and gave her just a litte more respect
i would have likely been a little more sucessful instead
of being stuck with so many regrets
mom has always been attentive
still there's alot about me that she does'nt know
she says i made my bed now i have to sleep in it
i told you what you reap you're gonna sow
