Belly of the Beast Lyrics by The Roosevelts

The Greatest Thing You’ll Ever Learn

2016

[Verse 1]
Hey hey mama, you’re little too hard on me
Hey hey mama, I’m a little bit tired of what you need
But I know
That your love is good and you’d never let me go
Hey hey mama, you’re a little too tough on me
You say you’re building a ladder, but you keep me on my knees
And that ain’t love
Because love ain’t what it says, it’s what it does
[Chorus]
And I’m old enough to know it’s wrong
But I’m young enough to fight along
Now I have to find my home
Mama won’t you stop ringing my phone
Cause there’s nothing you can do
It’s just a part of you and it’s a part of me
I keep begging the angels to set us free
But it’s just too hot in the belly of the beast
[Verse 2]
Hey hey mama, you’re a little too hard on me won’t you let me go
Hey hey mama, your little boy needs to find some space of his own
So won’t you help me find my way home
Hey hey mama, you’ve beaten me down one too many times before
Hey hey mama, I’m tired of picking up your pieces off the floor
When I don’t even know what I’m down here for
[Chorus]
And I’m old enough to know it’s wrong
But I’m young enough to fight along
Now I have to find my home
Mama won’t you stop ringing my phone
Cause there’s nothing you can do
It’s just a part of you and it’s a part of me
I keep begging the angels to set us free
But it’s just too hot in the belly of the beast
[Bridge]
Hey hey mama, you’re a little too tough on me
You say you’re building a ladder, but you keep me on my knees
And that ain’t love
Love ain’t what it says, it’s what it does
[Chorus]
But I tell you nothing in this world is gonna save me… from the Belly of The Beast
