Wings (BBC Live Version)

Mamma told me not to waste my life

She said spread your wings my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And if they give you shh

Then they can walk on by

My feet feet can't touch the ground

And I can't hear a sound

But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah

Walk walk on over there

'Cos I'm too fly to care oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing

I'm not listening

Keep talking all I know is

Mamma told me not to waste my life

She said spread your wings my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And they can't detain you

'Cos wings are made to fly

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly

I'm firing up on that runway

I know we're gonna get there someday

But we don't need no ready steady go no

Talk talk turns into air

And I don't even care oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing

I'm not listening

Keep talking all I know is

Mamma told me not to waste my life

She said spread your wings my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And they can't detain you

'Cos wings are made to fly

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly

I don't need no one saying hey hey hey hey

I don't hear no one saying

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

You better keep on walking

I don't wanna hear your talking BOY

You better keep on walking

I don't wanna hear your talking BOY

Your words don't mean a thing

I'm not listening

They're just like water off my wings

Mamma told me not to waste my life

She said spread your wings my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night

And they can't detain you

'Cos wings are made to fly

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly

And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly
