[Chorus]
Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as a man?

[Verse 1]
And what about your dad?
Did you think of what he'll say?
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've think of this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door

[Chorus]
Does your mama know about me?
Does she notice what I am?
She says forget about me
Do you think you understand?

[Verse 2]
And what about your friends?
Do you care what people say?
Will you accept the burdens
I know will surely come your way?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've think of this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door

[Chorus]
Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as a man?

[Bridge]
Oh, we've got to stand tall
Tumble or crawl
We got to be strong for love, that's so right
Can't be wrong

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And every day I see it grow
I don't want to let it go
That's why I gotta know

[Chorus]
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
