Mica Roberts - Things a Mama Don't Know Lyrics

Love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'

He swears he can make a fortune
I know you don't think I should go
There's some things a mama don't know
(The money ran out in Vegas)
(She's an all-night diner waitress)
(She'll do anything just to get by)

The hardest work he's done on his big career's a
Fifth 'a whiskey and a case of beer

When I talk to mama
I lie
I've got my pride

Chorus

Mom, he's a real go-getter
Love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me

California, that's where we're goin'
He swears he can make a fortune
Hope my voice don't let my secret show
Still some things a mama don't know
Like wakin' up to broken dreams every day
Like knowin' there's a little one on the way
Like believin' that someone you love can change

Like hidin' the bruises on my face
Just for everyone else's sake

Chorus

But mom, he's a real go-getter
Love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'

He swears he can make a fortune
Mama says, 'Baby, you can come back home'
But there's some things a mama don't know
(Hmmm) hmmm
