WELL LISTEN UP
TO WHAT I SAY
I WASN'T BORN
JUST YESTERDAY
I'VE BEEN DOWN
THE ROAD
AND BACK
A TIME OR TWO
WELL THIS SHOULD COME
AS NO SURPRISE
YOU CAN'T
PULL THE WOOL
OVER MY EYES
I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE
AND NOW I'M THROUGH
'CAUSE I'M SICK
AND TIRED OF FOOLS
TIRED OF PLAYING
BY THE RULES
TIME TO STRUT MY COOL
BECAUSE
MY MAMA
DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL
MAMA
DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL
WELL MY MAMA
DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL
YOU CAN'T TELL ME
WHAT TO DO
'CAUSE MAMA
DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL
WHAT GOES AROUND
COMES BACK AROUND
AND I'VE BEEN AROUND
A FEW TIMES BY NOW
I'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
AND I'VE PAID MY DUES
SO DON'T TELL ME
NO STORIES
AND DON'T TELL ME
NO LIES
'CAUSE MY MOTHER
BROUGHT ME UP TO BE
A BAD MOTHER TOO
YEAH
AND I'M SICK
AND TIRED OF FOOLS
TIRED OF PLAYING
BY THE RULES
TIME TO STRUT MY COOL
BECAUSE MY MAMA
DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL
