When I was younger, no one ever could tell me how to live
My life
I started troubled, that’s what young kids do
Yeah, I was young alright
My teacher said I’d be a failure
They call my mama just to tell her

Oh! Your son is troubled, there’s no doubt
He’s never gonna leave this town
Well, mama, look at me now
Catch me wavin’ from the sky in a brand new G5

Mama, look at me now (now, now, now, now)
They said that kid was on slide, but he’s doing alright
Mama, look at me now (hey!)
Mama, look at me now (hey!)
C’mon, look at me now (hey!)
Mama, look at me now (hey!)
Mama, look at me now

When I was younger no one ever could tell me how to live
My life
I told my mama not to worry
Cuz she worry ‘bout my world outside
They gave me pills to make me better
They call my mama just to tell her

Oh! Your son is trouble, good for nothing
He ain’t ever gonna leave this town
Well, mama, look at me now
Catch me wavin’ from the sky in a brand new g-5

Mama look at me now (now, now, now, now)
They said that kid was on slide, but he’s doing alright
Mama look at me now (hey!)
Mama look at me now (hey!)
C’mon look at me now (hey!)
Mama look at me now (hey!)
Mama look at me now
Mama look at me now
Mama look at me now
