Papa he left home today
|
Said he ain't comin' back again
|
Said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best
|
Just cause mama's got a special kind of friend
|
|
Papa he left home today
|
Said he ain't comin' back no more
|
Said he ain't gonna take no damn back seat
|
And how could mama do him so low
|
|
But mama's got a girlfriend now boy
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
Mama's got a girlfriend
|
Mama's got a true friend
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
|
You see mama don't watch your damn football
|
And your beer drinkin' just won't do
|
You're just stayin' out late
|
And you're preachin' the hate
|
And you never have been true
|
|
You see mama she want her somebody
|
Who will let her be herself
|
So she's leavin' you
|
And your stinky damn ways
|
Cause she's found somebody else
|
|
And mama's got a girlfriend now boy
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
Mama's got a girlfriend
|
Mama's found a true friend
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
|
Papa he left home today
|
He was wavin' his hands and cryin'
|
You could tell by the sound
|
And the tone in his voice
|
That his heart was slowly dyin'
|
But mama said "Boy if I ever
|
Catch you 'round here again
|
You ain't never gonna have nobody else
|
Not a woman or a man"
|
|
And mama's got a girlfriend now boy
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
Mama's got a girlfriend
|
Mama found a true friend
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now boy
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
Mama's got a girlfriend
|
Mama's found a true friend
|
Mama's got a girlfriend now
|
