Don’t Tell Mama

I've been down
I've been out
But not like this before

A dirty faced kid
Making a bid
To have a little more

High high hopes
Pockets low in cash
And it's oh so hard
To make my savings last

But don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Don't tell mama
She mustn't know

Don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Been trying hard
But things are slow

I had to go
Don't you know
Got a dream
That won't go

Fresh grounds
Spirited times
Know one holds me down

High high hopes
In everything l do
But it's oh so hard
To make my dreams come true

But don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Don't tell mama
She mustn't know

Don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Been trying hard
But things arе slow

Outta luck
In a rut
Gotta pick myself up
I've had my share
Of taking it so rough

High high hopеs
In everything I do
But it's oh so hard
To make my dreams come true

But don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Don't tell mama
She mustn't know

Don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Been trying hard
But things are slow

But don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Don't tell mama
She mustn't know

Don't tell Mama
Don't let her know
Been trying hard
But things are slow
