Mama I Got a Brand New Thing [Don’t Say No]

Norman Whitfield

Sunday morning I heard mama pray
From a room I heard her say
"Good Lord help my son find his way"
"Lord he's just a country boy"
"He thinks the world is great big toy"
There ain't nothin' he can't do
If he wants to

He got himself a part time job
Saved his money and bought him a guitar
Played from sun up to sundown, hey hey hey
(He don't wanna) Go to schoool no more
Don't do his household chores
But I must admit, the neighbors dig his sound
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(He's) Got some big ideas
He's talkin' 'bout leavin' here
Going to a place called New York City
And here's what he told me

Mama, I gotta brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go
Mama (yeah) I got a brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go

Mama said, "My son
My son you're only sixteen"
"I know being a star is your dream"
"But I think it's time you
Stop all this foolin'"
"And get to your schoolin'"

Living in a state of frustration
Stop preachin' that education
'Cause this job is gonna make me a king
Above everything else, listen
Donned from head to toe
First class everywhere we go
Just give me a chance to do my thing

Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go
Mama (Got a burning down deep inside)
I got a brand new thing
(I wanna see my name in lights) don't say no
(Please, please, please, let me go)
Let me go (I can see it now)

Champagne and caviar
A black limousine, chauffeured car
Trips all around the world
And I'll have my choice of any girl
People lined up as far as you can see
Standing in line just to see me
Money stacking up to the sky
There ain't nothin' that we can't buy
Have a little faith in me
Mama I'm sure that you will see
That your son and his guitar are gonna go far

Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand new thing, don't say no
Let me go i got a brand new thing
I got a brand new thing
I got a brand new thing
I got a brand new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand new thing
I got a brand new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand new thing
I got a brand new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand new thing

If you like it, let me see you move
If you like it, let me see you groove
If you like it, let me see you move
If you like it, let me see you groove
Let me see you groove, let me see you groove
Let me see you move, let me see you groove
Let me see you move, let me see you move
Let's groove, let me see you move
Wait a minute
I believe I'm ready to get me some help now

We got a brand new thing, oh

We got a brand new thing, oh
We got a brand new thing here it is!
Here it is!
