Lyrics[]

My momma wouldn't say you were a nice guy

But you're under forty and you have a job

My momma wouldn't say you was a good boy

But you're making money and you're working hard so


I'm going to take you out, I don't feel like it's wrong

Me and my momma, we don't get along


My momma, she would say your hair was too long

But your hair exactly is what I like the best

And my momma she would say you was a hoodlum

But I don't know no hoodlum and you don't pass the test


I'm going to take you out, I don't feel like it's wrong

Me and my momma, we don't get along


Oh, baby, I'm standing so close, I can't back down

You're smiling and I know, I'm over and done now

I am done now


My momma say that it was wrong to see you

I lie just to meet you, I lie to get in

And my momma she would say that I deceived you

But that's the only way I knew how to begin


So maybe you got your own problems, who doesn't?

I'm crazy, you're addicted, we are all of a sudden


My momma, she would love you like I love you

If she ever met you, if she ever knew

My momma, she would fall right on top of you

If she'd ever saw you, she'd be smitten, too


I'll never take you home, I want you all for my own

Don't let my momma hear your pretty song

I'm going to take you out, I don't feel like it's wrong

Me and my momma, we don't get along
