Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One, two, three
[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, Mama, what's the matter here?
Yeah, hey, hey, Mama, what's the matter here?
Yeah, you didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to love me, Mama, then let me go
Yeah, Mama, what's the matter here?
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you didn't have to make me a total disgrace
Didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Yeah, Mama, what's the matter here?
Yeah and that's alright, it's awful doggone clear
[Verse 4]
Yes, hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean?
Yes, hey, baby, why you treat me mean?
Yeah, you didn't have to crucify me like you did
Didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Yeah, Mama, why you treat me mean?
[Verse 5]
Yeah, you didn't have to say you'd always be by my side
Didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushin' bride
Yeah, baby, why you treat me mean?
And that's alright, I know your sister too
[Verse 6]
Ah, na, na
Yeah, na, na, na
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
Yeah, you didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to tell me, Mama, let me go
Hey Mama, what is wrong with you?
[Verse 8]
Yeah, you didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace
Didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Yeah Mama, what is wrong with you?
Yes and that's alright, be the same way too
[Verse 9]
Ah, na, na
Ah, na, na, na
Hey, na, na, na
Mmm, mmm
Ah, na, na, na
