Lyrics
Did Mama Lie
When I was born I was mama’s pride
She doted and pampered me when I cried
She said I was the cutest baby in town
People came to see me from all around
I’ll never forget the first day in school
Kids teased me and treated me cruel
I told mama, she comforted me
She said everything will be alright, you’ll see
When mama called me her handsome little guy
Did she mean it, or did she lie-------------------------------------------- {Chorus
Did she have poor vision or was she blind
Or was she just being polite and kind
I looked in the mirror to see what was wrong
I saw big floppy ear and nose way too long
I told mama I’m ugly, ugly as can be
Nonsense she said, you look handsome to me
Whenever I walked down the street
All the kids pointed to my big feet
I was lanky awkward and shy
Freckle faced with bulging eyes
When mama called me her handsome little guy
Did she mean it, or did she lie-------------------------------------------- {Chorus
Did she have poor vision or was she blind
Or was she just being polite and kind
Dogs barked people threw stones
Called me an ugly bag of bones
Wherever I went everyone stared
I had no friends who really cared
As time passed I met Mary Lou
It was love at first sight, we said I do
If you are ugly, don’t despair
There’s someone besides mama who can care
Instr. Break
When mama called me her handsome little guy
Did she mean it, or did she lie-------------------------------------------- {Chorus
Did she have poor vision or was she blind
Or was she just being polite and kind
