[All]
Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shh
Then they can walk on by

[Jesy]
My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah

[Jade]
Walk, walk on over there
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah

[All]
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

[Perrie]
I'm firing up on that runway
I know we're gonna get there someday
But we don't need no ready steady go, no

[Leigh-Anne]
Talk, talk turns into air
And I don't even care, oh yeah

[All]
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

I don't need no one saying
hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water off my wings

Mamma told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
