Lyrics:

(Swing Out Sister)
Duck and dive to survive
Daddy lied mama cried
Things are never learned in school
Guess they taught me all too soon
Mama didn't raise no fool
Feel alone daddy's gone
Didn't ask for this broken home
You heard the rumors now they're true
Could have easily been you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Suddenly it becomes plain to see
That's the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Dry your eyes take my hand
He's not coming back
So understand
Don't break an unwritten rule
Stick together play it cool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Suddenly it becomes plain to see
That's the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool Mama didn't raise no
Fool
Suddenly it becomes plain to see
That's the way it was meant to me
Spare a thought and save the child
Spare a thought and save the child
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
