Lyrics
Boy, you're just a little boy
stop playing games, my heart is not a toy
when you can't have your way
you run back to your momma where I know you say
Mamma, mamma, what do I do?
Can't handle this no more tell me what do I do?
Mamma, mamma, please understand
and she says "Son, grow up it's time to be a man".
Boy, when will you ever see
your childish ways can never set you free
someday you'll be all alone, waiting by the telephone
when you crumble, when you fall, no-one's gonna call
Mamma, mamma, what do I do?
Can't handle this no more tell me what do I do?
Mamma, mamma, please understand
and she says "Son, grow up it's time to be a man".
How can everybody see your weakness and you cannot?
If you haven't got your dignity and pride, what have you got?
Run, to your mamma, run boy run.
Run to your mamma boy, oh oh oh
Mamma what do I do? Can't handle this no more.
Mamma please understand. "Son, grow up it's time to be a man".
Mamma, mamma, what do I do? (What do I do? I'm just a boy, I'm just a boy)
Can't handle this no more tell me what do I do?
Mamma, mamma (mamma yea), please understand
and she says "Son, grow up it's time to be a man".
