Momma Told Me Lyrics

IM GONNA TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY
ABOUT THAT MAN ON THE STREET
HELLO DO YOU REMEMBER ME
WHY HE COULD BARELY SPEAK
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME
HIS EYES SPARKLED JUST THE SAME
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY PAIN
AND ALL IS FAIR IN THE GAME

MY MOMMA TOLD ME THAT I WAS PRETTY
THAT I WOULD FIND ME SOMEONE TO LOVE ME
SHE DIDN'T TELL ME THAT HE WOULD LEAVE ME
SHE DIDN'T SAY HE'D HE'D BREAK MY HEART NO

SO LONG AGO HE SAID HE LOVE ME
SO LONG AGO HE LEFT ME FOR ANOTHER
I WAS SURE HE HURT THAT WE WERE APART
BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME

GUESS MY FACE WASN'T QUITE THE SAME
HE DIDN'T EVEN STOP TO SEE
THE LOVE POURING OF ME


(BRIDGE)

THE WORLD REVOLVES FATE DEALS THE CARDS
YOU DON'T GET TO CHOOSE IF YOU WIN OR LOOSE
YET YOU LEARN THERE ARE NO RULES.

Crystal Waters (born 1961 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a female African American House/R&B/Soul singer-songwriter who enjoyed two major pop hits in the early nineties: "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" (1991) and "100% Pure Love" (1994). She is also the niece of legendary singer Ethel Waters.

"Gypsy Woman" became a worldwide hit thanks to its la da dee la dee da refrain. The track reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became even more successful in Europe, reaching #2 in the UK. Her debut album didn't spawn any other big hits. The singer made an unexpected comeback in 1994 when "100% Pure Love" hit #11 in North America and became one of the longest charting singles on the Hot 100 (45 weeks). Her 1997 self-titled album included another Top 40 hit, "Say...If You Feel Alright," but since then mainstream success has eluded her. Waters still continues to release tracks that are successful on the Hot Dance Music/Club Songs chart, such as "Come On Down" and "My Time", "Lies", "Nights In Egypt", "Dancefloor" and "Never Enough." Her output has continued to be limited to singles however the hits continued into the next decade. Some of these songs include "Masquerade" , "Le Bump" (with Yolanda Be Cool) and "Say Yeah" (credited as Crystal Waters vs. Fred Pellichero). Read more on Last.fm.
