I Didn’t Do It

If you're gonna go
Take me from here
Mama don't understand me
She can't wipe away my tears
She don't even know
That I'm out here
I'm gonna get it when I go home
You can understand my fear

Mama, I didn't do it
And I would not tell a lie
Hear me when I say I cannot hide
Mama, I didn't do it
I don't know how you think I could
I don't wanna run, but inside, I know I should

This is nothing new
I've run before
When Daddy comes home much too late
Mama kicks me out the door
Let me go with you
Can't take no more
She did not believe me
Even when I swore

I said mama, I didn't do it
And I would not tell a lie
Hear me when I say I cannot hide
Mama, I didn't do it
I don't know how you think I could
I don't wanna run, but inside, I know I should

Mama, mama, mama, mama

Mama, I didn't do it
Don't you know I couldn't lie?
Hear me when I say I cannot hide
Mama, I didn't do it
I don't know how you think I could
I don't wanna run, but inside, I know I should

Mama, I did not do it
I don't know how you think I could
I don't wanna run, but inside, I know I should
Mama, mama
I don't wanna run
Mama
