My Momma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My momma wouldn't say you were a nice guy
But you're under 40 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

[Chorus]
I'm gonna take you on
I don't feel like it's wrong
Me and my momma, we don't get along

[Verse 2]
My momma, she would say your hair was too long
But your hair's exactly what I like the best
And my momma, she would say you was a hoodlum
But I'd done known a hoodlum and you don't pass the test

[Chorus]

Oh Baby, you're standing so close, I can't back down
You're smiling and I know I'm over and done now
I am done now

[Verse 3]
My momma would say that it was wrong to see you
I lied just to meet you, I lied to get in
My momma, she would say that I deceived you
But that's the only way I knew how to begin

So maybe you've got your own problems, who doesn't?
I'm crazy, you're addicted, we are all of a sudden

[Verse 4]
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 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 gonna take you on
I don't feel like it's wrong
Me and my momma, we don't get along
