Ooh Mama, ooh Mama
Ooh Mama, ooh Mama
Ooh Mama, ooh Mama

What you gonna do when you fall in love?
(Ooh Mama, ooh Mama)
How you gonna pay for the dowry?
(Ooh Mama, ooh Mama)
Where you gonna live when you tie the knot?
(Ooh Mama, ooh Mama)
Ooh, what they done to you?
(Ooh Mama, ooh Mama)
What you gonna do when you bring baby?
I guess you'll have to give it to your lover's mother
Look up! Your head's down

Your heart will bring
Your heart will bring you sorrow
Your heart will bring
Your heart will bring you sorrow
Your heart! Your heart!

How you gonna send your money back home
(Ooh Mama, ooh Mama)
When the strikers here won't leave you alone?
(Ooh Mama, ooh Mama)
When do you dream of making love to your woman?
(Ooh Mama, ooh Mama)
When do you dream of making love to your woman?
When the time on your hands don't belong to you?
Well, love is something that you shouldn't do
When the spoils of life aren't meant for you
Look up! Your head's down

Your heart will bring
Your heart will bring you sorrow
Your heart will bring
Your heart will bring you sorrow
Your heart! Your heart!

Your heart will bring
Your heart will bring you sorrow
Your heart will bring
Your heart will bring you sorrow
Your heart! Your heart!

But the light shined down on me
But the light shined down on you
But the light shined down on me
But the light shined down on you
But the light shined down on me
But the light shined down on you
But the light shined down on me
