I remember the first time
I got hurt by love
I thought i'd never get over that girl

Then mama called me to her side
And took her handkerchief and
Dried the tears from my eyes and said


[chorus]
It's all in your mind

It's all in your mind
You'll get over it
Just a matter of time

You'll find a girl to treat you right
She'll bring happiness into your life


Yeah, that's what mama said

Just because that girl did you wrong

You can't give up on love
You got to be strong
Remember, quitters never win

Take the bitter with the sweet
And try it over again, she said


[repeat chorus]

Yeah, uh huh


After meeting you
I know mama told the truth

Cause i forgot about her
When i laid eyes on you


Now i wanna pass
This advice on to you
If you're hung up on love

You can shake it too
Cause mama said


[repeat chorus]

It's all in your mind

It's all in your mind
You'll get over it
Just a matter of time

You'll find someone to treat you right
They'll bring happiness into your life


Mama said
It's all in your mind...
