Teena Marie - Ask Your Momma Lyrics
SocietyWho's to say who loves youAnd on the colors of loveAre we to be schooledSocietyOur minds, bodies, and souls will meet toleranceSocietyPut an end to ignoranceAsk your momma can she feel itDoes she know about my loveDoes she know you got my heart in your handAsk your momma will she cry when she seesThis 14K band of gold, oh, babyWonder will she say what will I tell my friendsSociety's childSome people think I was born with a silver sthingy in my mouthThat isn't right, that isn't right, uh, uhI had dreams of grandeurAnd I was labeled like Campbell soupBaby, all I wanted to doWas sing to you and love you trueI see the looks down their nosesI hear shots in the darkWe sleep on no bed of rosesTug of wars on our hearts, heyWe think we're the perfect blendBut they can't see beyond the skin, whoa...Ask your momma does she rememberThe bible says about equalsOr is it this different when it hits this close to your homeAsk your momma will the children sufferOr will they hate us for our dreams, oh, babyI wonder will she say what will I tell my friendsSociety speakingSome of my best friends are different shadesIt's a shame, it's a crimeThey blow your mind, time after time, babyI had pretty visionsAnd I was labeled and I was robbedBaby, all I wanted to doWas sing to you and love you trueI see the looks down their nosesI hear shots in the darkWe sleep on no bed of rosesTug of wars on our hearts, heyWe think we're the perfect blendBut they can't see beyond the skin, whoa...Ask your momma can she feel itDoes she know about my love, oh, ohDoes she know you got my heart in your handAsk your momma will she cry when she seesThis 14K band of gold, oh, babyI wonder will she say what will I tell my friendsHey... babyHey... hey...Ask your momma can she feel it, can she feel itFeel it in her heartCan she feel it in her heartCan she feel it in her heartAsk your mommaIt's such a crime, it's such a crimeIt's such a crimeIt's such a crime, it's such a crimeIt's blowing my mind, babyIt's such a crimeIt's such a crimeIt's blowing my mindIt's blowing my mindIt's blowing my mindTime after timeI see the looks down their nosesI hear shots in the darkWe sleep on no bed of rosesTug of wars on our hearts, heyWe think we're the perfect blendBut they can't see beyond the skin, whoa...Ask your momma can she feel itDoes she know about my loveAsk your momma can she feel itDoes she know about my love
