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...
