Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said

And then I met a little boy named Billy-Joe
And then I almost lost my mind

There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Oh, mama said there'll be days like this

All that I could see, yeah

For everybody but me
But I don't worry 'cause
 
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this

And then she said
Someone would look at me 
Like I'm lookin' at you
One day
Then I might find 
I don't want you any old way
 
So, don't worry, 'cause
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
Oh, yeah
