Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're feeling lost, you're feeling alone, you're feeling away far from your home
Hey! Lil Mama, why don't you come around?
You're feeling lost, you're feeling alone, you're feeling away far from your home
See what the world is giving, it's more than everything you need
Some don't know what true love is, look around you and you will see hey
Mothers are loving, sisters are sharing, you should forget all the things you've taught me
Ooh, now you feel it
Time to feel good, about you, to take a good break
And ooh, now you feel it
Peace inside, your mind, got to leave
Hey! Lil Mama, why don't you come around?
You're feeling lost, you're feeling alone, you're feeling away far from your home
Hey! Lil Mama, why don't you come around?
You're feeling lost, you're feeling alone, you're feeling away far from your home
When the sun is going down and there's silence in your head
Don't you worry, don't you run, there's a place to lay your head
Don't you know how to stand up and make this world your own
If you feel like giving up, I make you feel at home
Ooh, now you feel it
Time to feel good, about you, to take a good break
And, oooh, now you feel it
Peace inside, your mind, got to leave
Hey! Lil Mama, why don't you come around?
You're feeling lost, you're feeling alone, you're feeling away far from your home
Hey! Lil Mama, why don't you come around?
You're feeling lost, you're feeling alone, you're feeling away far from your home
