My mama don't She's impossible to the Now she says she's gettin' married He's a of a friend of the boy next door

A different view, slant Another way, another To get on her life

She's know If she can cut on her own But the man says "You can never go again"
You gotta see the new place Mom, you're gonna right at home Could you just that deposit Mama, we'll pay you back when the welfare check
Nothin's as expected No one all the trouble we've seen But we'll ourselves together It's the two of us now, of course, baby three
