It's not a matter of your circumstance It's all about what your momma gave you You got the smile But did she give you all the tools you need to save you When you're down and out And you're sick of this town Cause' all the boys know you've been around And not a one of 'em fills the holes your daddy left Well you ran off and changed your name but Deep down, you're still the same Broken girl who never makes up her mind There ain't a man around who deserves your crown But you keep on forcing yourself down Then you cry and wonder why it winds up bad Don't lose your faith Don't lose your faith Don't lose your faith Don't lose your faith Well your dreams are plagued With a place that you could stay and never leave it Then every time a good man shows his face You won't believe it Guess you're jaded from the past And you're moving too fast And from everything you've seen True love doesn't last And if it does, we'll darlin', it ain't for you Don't lose your faith Don't lose your faith Don't lose your faith Don't lose your faith Time and time again, you throw it away Just this once, won't you let the right man stay Time and time again, you throw it away Just this once, won't let you the right man stay It's not a matter of your circumstance It's all about what your momma gave you
