Every day
I still hear my momma sayin'
She had to moan
Every way
She's still with me every day
In my, in my souls, in my soul

She taught me to moan all my cares away yeah
So I moan, oh
Oh I,
I moan, yeah

Oh oh
Oh
Hmm

Sometimes you gotta moan, my momma said oh
To the tears, yeah to the places, hoo

Moan

Hoo, hoo
Yeah
When I'm down
When I'm lost
And I can't find
Which way to go

When I'm scared
Scared of messing up
When the pressure is way too much
When I feel like I can't go on, yeah
I start singin' and I moan

Uh, hoo
Yeah
Ooh hoo hoo yeah

I start singing, yeah
And I moan

When ? In despair
Yeah I wanna sing
Like no one cares
And I'm scared
Scared of messing up
We in the pressure is way too much

When I feel like I can't go on, yeah yeah
I start singin' and I moan, ooh
You see I feel better, better,
Ooh, better now

If I moan
Oh it takes the pain away
Takes the pain away
So when I miss you
I start singin' and I moan

My momma taught me, momma taught me
Never ? I know, yes
I would take it, and take it everywhere I go
See if you think you've seen it all
'Cause you did
Keep on livin' for as long
So when I miss her
I start singin' and I moan ooh yeah ooh yeah

Sometimes is beyond words, hoo yeah
So I gotta to moan
So I gotta moan yeah
I think it's better
Yes I do

So when you're when you're down (when I'm down)
When you're lost
If you can't find which way to go
You don't know which way to go

'Cause when I'm scared
And feel alone yeah
I start singin'
That's what I do, yeah and I moan
