Lorde - Mama Do Lyrics

Every night I go
Every night I go sneaking out the door
I lie a little more, baby I'm helpless

There's something about the night
And the way it hides all the things I like
Little black butterflies deep inside me

What would my mama do?
Uh oh uh oh
She knows about me and you
Uh oh uh oh
What would my daddy say?
Uh oh uh oh
She saw me hurt this way
Uh oh uh oh

Why should I feel ashamed?
Feeling guilty at the mention of your name
And here we are again, it's nearly perfect

What would my mama do?
Uh oh uh oh
She knows about me and you
Uh oh uh oh
What would my daddy say?
Uh oh uh oh
He saw me hurt this way

Uh oh uh oh

Does Pixie know about this? 👍👍👍👍

Adore the 12 year old Lorde!

better than the original

Amazing

woah, her voice got a lot deeper! i guess most 20 year olds have deeper voices than when they were 12, but woah. puberty changed a great voice into a super different great voice. it's amazing

amazing

OMG!!! I love this song!!!

Ella is aosm I love every song she has writing and recorded

Doesn't she sound like Alessia Cara? 😶

Davide Bortolotti yah but alessia got inspiration from her

Alessia cara sounds like her*

Por diossssss

I WISH THIS WAS ON ITUNES OR SPOTTILY

12 and a voice like that, of course she was only going to get better <3

when I first heard this I SERIOUSLY thought it was me singing because I sound IDENTICAL to this. even when I sing with the song playing, there's literally no difference.

Would love to hear it girl, we never know when next Lorde is coming on !

truly amazing <3 this..

no. in the song

Wow! It sounds so different! But it still great!!👍

praise the Lorde <3. haha

Lorde <3

She's come such a long way, but this is still great! I love the route her music is going. What a talented lady!

This song is great :)

She's a great singer... I love you, my Idol ♥

I care love her vocie. I LOVE YOU LORDE

nice! which type of flipcamera did you work with for capturing this recording? it could be awesome for you to do a mashup with another instrumentalists you can toy with Bandhub to build it

+ramplas cambram What do you mean? This is audio only and it was recorded in a studio.

I love this cover. Her voice is amazing

Uh! Oh! She now has a great variety of how to say that. Fan forever

Fodaaaaaaa

Pixie lott bought me here

Love this!

Wow her vocal coach really did a lot for her! She certainly sounds great for a 12 year old, but I could see her getting older and sounding like every other YouTube singer with a good voice. Her training really helped her develop a sound everyone wants to copy now!

That was the voice of a 12 year old? Wow.

She is kinda ok?

She has a god-given talent !!

Ella's voice has gotten so much deeper over the years!
I love her deep voice!
Always been amazing.
I Love you.

Yeah you can really tell the difference in her old voice when she says "name" at 1:05

It's not Lorde, when this wong was released she was 14.

2009...

@LorenaV143 2OO9 - 1996 = 13 .__.

nah it is (: haha, sh'e my mate

Ella :) you are truly brilliant

Acoustic? wow sounds great

https://www.facebook.com/LordeDailyx <----- MY FANPAGE, LIKE IT! XO

holy shit she is so amazing i can't

you cant

fantastic

this is really good but i highly doubt that she was 12 when this was recorded. That is a really mature voice for someone that young. 

but she's very mature now, she doesn't sound like she's 17 right now but that's her age

as a 17 year old with 17 year old friends i can confirm that she sounds 17

Keep in mind she was initially signed and got a record deal at 13 so it's totally plausible...

Her voice is amazing! Such an inspiration

Beautiful Ella!

I don't like her voice here...

she sounds better, because nobody see's her ;-) she feels a lot at ease without public. 

D Tja She was with the DJ/interviewer and the guitarist (apologies for forgetting his name) in the studio.

¿What happened with that voice Ella?

That was 5 years ago... How do you expect her voice to stay the same ?

@MCFan96 but here here voice its more stronger than now.

her voice was much lighter when she was 12 of course no shit

She sounds sooo much better here

I think it's still way awesome that Pixie Lott did one of Lorde's songs-- but the devil's advocate in me also begins to think she's looking for relevance again. Both voices are awesome, of course. I'm a fan of both of them!

What would my DADDY SAY if SHE saw me hurt this way? At 00:52

...who cares

She didn't say "if she"

even at age of 12, she sounds like 20 year old 

Yeah. So true.

Good as ever!

Something slightly wrong about a 12 year old singing about sneaking out for a late nite shag

i think that's pretty normal in most 12 year olds these days

I like this timbre of her voice better than her usual one now! It's so much more exciting!

Made me more in love...

she sounded so different back then  but as awesome as she does now. love her :)

Amazing for a 12year old! Amazing for anybody of any age!!!

maybe because she is in the maturing stage? I like here voice today, because she sound like a countrygirl when she was young and to cliché

She should sing more in a higher octave like this .. it's a different side that shows her talented voice and music

I kinda like the way her voice sounded when she was 12 better than it does now.

She's so young wow .

that voice..

My inspiration

WHOA! she's amazing !!

Oh lorde amazing voice gosh,

So hard to wrap my mind around how old she was!
