Little Tommy, he was runnin' home from school
|
Had a look of love, almost like a fool
|
Sittin' in his room heart steaming like a train
|
Waitin' for his dad to help him save the day
|
|
He's found a girl, the first one in his life
|
Needs advise, daddy's always right
|
Here comes the car, now he's seeing stars
|
Guess who's gonna get a shock
|
Could put him behind bars
|
|
What mama don't know
|
Won't hurt her, hurt her
|
What mama don't know
|
Won't hurt her
|
|
Probably thinkin' what's mama got to do
|
With the story Tommy told
|
To daddy's payback news
|
Papa fooled around, in his younger days
|
Now Tommy's brand new love, is sister Mary Jane
|
|
Tears runnin' down this heartbroken face
|
Daddy tries, tries to ease the pain
|
Says "Tommy listen up to what I've got to say
|
Don't let your mother know, or hell is on its way"
|
|
What mama don't know
|
Won't hurt her, hurt her
|
What mama don't know
|
Won't hurt her
|
|
Tears runnin' down this heartbroken face
|
He's gonna pack, and leave this place
|
|
Now mama knows
|
It hurt her, hurt her
|
Now mama knows
|
It hurt her
|
Now mama knows
|
It hurt her, hurt her
|
Now mama knows
|
