Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Will she turn her back on me

Or accept me as I am

And what about your dad

Did you think of what he'll say

Will he be understanding

Or does he think the usual way

Maybe I shouldn't worry

But I've been through this before

And I'd like to get things straight

Before I'm knocking on your door

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

If she says forget about me

Do you think you'll understand

And what about your friends

Do you care what people say

Will you accept the burdens

I know will surely come your way

Maybe I shouldn't worry

But I've been through this before

And I'd like to get things straight

Before I'm knocking on your door

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Will she turn her back on me

Or accept me as I am

Oh we've got to stand tall

Tumble and crawl

We've got to be strong

For love that's so right

Can't be wrong

And everyday I see it grow

I don't want to let it go

That's why I gotta know

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am

Does your mama know about me

Does she know what I am

Does your mama know about me

Does she know just what I am
