Lyrics
He's such a nice boy, so well-mannered
He's so much better than the last one you brought around
Please and thank you, everything matters
I'm gonna make sure that she knows I'm the best she's found
The moment she walks out that door
I'm not pretendin' anymore
(If your mother really knew)
If your mother knew all of the things that we do, do
(If your mother really knew)
Do, do, pretendin' anymore
Do, do
(If your mother really knew)
Do, do
Pretendin' anymore
Next time that she sees me
She gon' act like she don't know me
'Cause she knows all of the story
Now your daddy wants to kill me (Ah)
Next time that she sees me
She gon' act like she don't know me
'Cause she knows all of the story
Now your daddy wants to kill me (Yeah)
(If your mother really knew)
Sneak out the window, bed stuffed with pillows
I'll be waitin' in the car right around the block
Back of the Benzo, more than a friend-zone
We've been hidin' since the time they forgot to knock
The moment she walks out that door
I'm not pretendin' anymore
(If your mother really knew)
If your mother knew all of the things that we do, do
(If your mother really knew)
Do, do, pretendin' anymore
Do, do
(If your mother really knew)
Do, do, pretendin' anymore
Next time that she sees me
She gon' act like she don't know me
'Cause she knows all of the story
Now your daddy wants to kill me (Ah)
Next time that she sees me
She gon' act like she don't know me
'Cause she knows all of the story
Now your daddy wants to kill me (Yeah)
(If your mother really knew)
