Mama Said Lyrics

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this my Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)

I went walking the other day
Everything was going fine
I met a little boy named Billy Joe
And then I almost lost my mind

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this my Mama said

My eyes are wide open
But all that I can see is
Chapel bells are callin' for everyone but-a me
But I don't worry 'cause

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this my Mama said

And then she said someone will look at me
Like I'm looking at you one day
Then I might find
I don't want it any old way
So I don't worry, 'cause

Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this my Mama said

Mama said, mama said
Hey, don't you worry
Mama said, mama said
Don't you worry now
Mama said mama said
Hey, hey

Everything was going fine I met a little boy named Billy Joe And then I almost lost my mind

.... innocent & naive, fell in love, got her heart broken.

My eyes are wide open But all that I can see is Chapel bells are callin' for everyone but-a me But I don't worry 'cause

..... couldnt find love, everyone else seems to be finding love except her.

And then she said someone will look at me Like I'm looking at you one day Then I might find I don't want it any old way So I don't worry, 'cause

..... perhaps they aren't finding real love, just getting married. shes waiting out, she wants real love, not 'any old way.' she knows she will find love, that she must find it.

I guess that I never really .istened carefully to this song before. But this morning when I woke up I was dreaming this song, and I thought: "oh no, it might be a bad omen," so I layed low all day. Then, I decided to listen carefully, and surprise! It's not really about such a bad day. It's just about hoping for something wonderful, holding out for something better. Knowing it will surely happen, remembering to have faith, and not lose hope.

Hahaha. i always have this song stuck in my head. Its so classic. I really can't think of anything it means to me, it just has a good message. like "alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day", kine of thing (hell, glimpse of my past here). There will be days like this, things will be ok too.
