Lyrics

When I got my first bike and I learned to ride
My mom would always stand guard on the porch outside
She was really nervous, like moms can be
And, usually, it was because of me.
Riding just as fast as my little legs could
With my mom calling out through the neighborhood
She said there’s just one thing that you gotta know
She told me “slow down! You gotta go slow!”

But I wanna go fast, Mama - I got no time to look around
I just wanna go fast, Mama - I wanna be traveling at the speed of sound
I just wanna go fast, Mama - And if you’re right, I don’t wanna know
I just wanna go fast, Mama - Please let me go!

When I was a teen and I discovered girls
I thought they might just be the best thing in the whole wide world
You have to understand that it was all in fun
But I wanted to cuddle each and every one
My mom would roll her eyes as I hit the town
She told me “nice girls don’t go for guys who mess around.
When it comes to lovin’ - there's one thing I know:
To do it right, you gotta go slow.”

But I wanna go fast, Mama
I got no time to look around
I just wanna go fast, Mama
I wanna be traveling at the speed of sound
I just wanna go fast, Mama
And if you’re right, I don’t wanna know
I just wanna go fast, Mama
Please let me go!

Whoa, Mama, though you really oughta know
Whoa, Mama you’ve just gotta let me go.
Whoa, Mama, why I gotta hear it every night?
Oh Mama - even though I know you’re right.

I just wanna go fast, Mama
I got no time to look around
I just wanna go fast, Mama
I wanna be traveling at the speed of sound
I just wanna go fast, Mama
And if you’re right, I don’t wanna know
I just wanna go fast, Mama
Please let me go!
