My first BIAB song of 2019! :-)

Done with _ROSES.STY (Roses Fast Acoustic Pop Waltz) BIAB style. My voice I recorded with Audacity, and added 25% reverb.

Hope you enjoy ... as always, all feedback welcome - thanks :-)




Lyrics:

MAMA SAID

When I was young and wet behind the ears
I saw this girl, a beauty as can be
And then I ran to tell the news to mama
While I was jumping up and down with glee.

Mama said: don't fall in love too easy ...
Don't give your heart too quickly, please, my boy
Don't promise her the moon the moment that you see her
Or she will play you like a little toy.

But then I saw her shining like a diamond,
With her blonde hair and eyes of green like jade ...
And all my world I promptly left at her feet
And to her whims her servant myself made.

Mama said: don't fall in love too easy ...
Don't give your heart too quickly, please, my boy
Don't promise her the earth the moment that you see her
Or she will play you like a little toy.

Time has passed now, she's from me long gone ...
She left me here with my heart in two ...
She took my purse, my soul and all I had to give her
And left me feeling broken down and blue.

Mama said: it happens, son, I know,
Some women can drive any man insane ...
And yet I know, were she to pass by once more
I would most likely fall for her again.

Mama said: don't fall in love too easy ...
Don't give your heart too quickly, please, my boy ...
But it's too late, you see, for, since I saw her,
She played me well ... just like a little toy.
