I'm wearing rose-tinted shades but all I see
Is shades of my imagination covered in red
A crooked smile and some fake love put me in these handcuffs
Threw away the keys 'cause I was a threat
Well, first you try to tell me that we're family
Then you try to tell me that it's for the best
You promise that you'll be there if I need ya
But I don't need your handout, you can take it back
I won't be used
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging
So cut me loose
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Mmm, I got a pain in my backbone
Where'd you get that knife from?
Why the hell is it so covered in red?
I let you walk into my home
Let you make it your own
You tried to tear it down and leave me for dead
Well, first you try to tell me that we're family
Then you try to tell me that it's for the best
You promise that you'll be there if I need ya
But I don't need your handout, you can take it back
I won't be used (no, no)
My mama didn't raise no fool (yeah)
Won't let you leave me hanging
So cut me loose (snip, snip)
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Whoo! Ha, ha, ha!
Ladies and gentlemen!
If you're sick of being disrespected
Let me hear you sing it!
Go!
I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spending
No, I don't wanna feel like I'm losing 'cause you're winning, baby
I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spending
No, I don't wanna feel like I'm losing 'cause you're winning
I won't be used
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging
So cut me loose
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
I won't be used
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging
So, cut me loose
My mama didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging, no more (no more, no more)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Won't let you leave me hanging
Won't let you leave me hanging
Won't let you leave me hanging
