Tell My Mama
Confessions of a Reckless Heart: Tell My Mama
Lyrics
On the first day of class
Expressing the beginning of a new experience or journey, likely related to a romantic interest.
You walked into the room
Describing the entrance of someone into a space.
Just a hot little thing with a bad attitude
Portraying the person as attractive but with a challenging demeanor.
And I knew, I knew, I knew you were trouble
Acknowledging a sense of trouble or complications associated with the person.
Baby (O oh)
A vocal expression, possibly of surprise or realization.
I was saved by the bell
Referencing a relief or escape from a situation, like the phrase "saved by the bell."
Couldn't wait to get home
Anticipating excitement to share an experience with someone.
And tell my mama 'bout this
Expressing the intention to inform one's mother about a boy.
Boy I don't know yeah, I knew, I knew
Acknowledging uncertainty or confusion about the situation.
I knew it was complicated
Recognizing the complexity of the feelings involved.
Boy, I know you're dangerous
Acknowledging the perceived danger associated with the person.
You're not the one I'm supposed to love
Stating that the person is not the intended love interest.
But this is more than just a crush tonight
Expressing that the emotions go beyond a simple crush.
So I'm gonna tell my mama about ya
Reiterating the intention to inform the mother about the boy.
I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-I'ma tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-I'ma tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-I'ma tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-Hey, yeah yeah oh, yeah
Expression of emotions, possibly excitement or anticipation.
Locked myself in my room
Describing a conflicted emotional state, feeling trapped and disturbed.
Called you up on the phone
-Don't know why I hung up soon as you said
-"Hello" when it's true, it's true
-You got me trippin', baby
-(O oh) that night I couldn't sleep
-Rolled around in the bed
-'Cause the boy of my dreams
-Is a nightmare instead
-And it's true, it's true
-Don't nobody tried to save me, yeah
-Boy, I know you're dangerous
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person's danger and expressing the intent to inform the mother.
You're not the one I'm supposed to love
-But this is more than just a crush tonight
-So I'm gonna tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-I'ma tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-I'ma tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-I'ma tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her, ooh
-I ain't never ever met a boy
Expressing the unique and intense feelings evoked by the boy.
That made me feel the way
-That you do, you do, you do
-(Ayy) i said
-I never ever met a boy that
-Made me feel the way
-That you do, you do, you do come on now
-Boy, I know you're dangerous
Repeating the themes of danger, conflicting emotions, and the decision to inform the mother.
You're not the one I'm supposed to love
-But this is more than just a crush tonight
-So I'm gonna tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
-I'ma tell my mama about ya
-I'ma tell her, I'ma tell her
