My mama understand She's to the core Now she says she's gettin' married He's a friend of a of the boy next door
got all of the best intentions Half of a school When he does his song and They know they can be happy as the on TV
She needs a change, she wants a Where she can grow and can thrive kind of space of her own
A different view, another Another way, chance To get on with her
(Mama she understand) she don't She even know She know She don't
She's gotta If she can cut on her own But the man says "You can never go again"
You gotta come see the new Mom, you're gonna right at home Could you just that deposit Mama, we'll pay you back the welfare check comes
Nothin's as expected No one knows all the trouble we've But we'll pull ourselves It's the two of us now, of course, baby three
A little luck, an break We'll find a way to our cake And even eat a or two
We'll you how winnin' now We'll it up Can't keep 'em
She don't me Don't me
So mama, understand (Mama, understand) If possible, we implore we just move in these few things We won't get in the way and sleep on the floor
'Cuz, times been getting tougher (Times have been tough) It's an unfriendly world They say will pick up by summer Can we the car, will you watch little Clyde a lot
Mama understand Mama don't me
Mama don't Mama don't me (Mama understand me) (Mama understand me, no)
Mama don't She understand me (Mama don't me) (Mama, she understand me, yeah)
