You always stopped me from turning on
The TV which you got famous on
I may seem young to you
But I know what I'm missing

The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
I'm in an awful mess
Can I have a telly - please ?

Mama don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Mama don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made my mind, I'm watching the TV
Oo-ooo, I'm gonna watch the TV, mmmmm....

Guy says you're going to marry
And you say you're having a new baby
You're havin' fun all right -
But what about me ?

And my friends keep telling me to turn it up
Saying I'm too boring, I gotta live it up
What I need right now, is some Tellytubbies, please

Mama don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Mama don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made my mind, I'm watching the TV
Ooo, I'm gonna watch the TV, ooo, ooo....

Mommy, Mommy if you could only see
Just how much I would learn for free
You'd put the Bible away now
I wanna watch your vids
I wanna watch your vids, so please

Mama don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Mama don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made my mind, I'm watching the TV
Oo, I'm gonna watch the TV, ooo, ooo....

Mama don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Mama don't preach, I've been losing sleep
Mama don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Mama don't preach, I've been losing sleep (Mama don't preach)
Oh, I'm gonna watch the TV, oooo....(Mama don't preach)
Don't stop lovin' me Mommy
I know I'm gettin' a TV.
