What Mama Says Goes
By Allan Rosensweig

Verse 1:
I just hung up the phone with mama
Sunday night we always try to talk
But when your name came up in conversation
I could tell that it was my wake-up call

Verse 2:
She told me find a man like my daddy
Cause lately boy you’ve been doing me wrong
Said you’re not worth the love I been spending
Outstayed your welcome here far too long
Tomorrow boy you’re as good as gone

Chorus (1 & 3):
What Mama says goes
She tried to warn me about you
Said I deserve a man who
Treats her baby like a queen
But you’re not doing that for me
Got your truck filled up with gas
Facing down the road
What mama says goes

Verse 3:
She said you should build me a pedestal
So you can worship me from underneath
Instead of taking me out on the weekend
You’re just worshiping the beer and the big screen
Now I’m making this as clear as it can be

Chorus (2):
What Mama says goes
She tried to warn me about you
Said I deserve a man who
Treats her baby like a queen
But you’re not doing that for me
Get your walkin’ boots shined up
Cause you’re hitting the road
What mama says goes

Bridge:
Sometimes you need a wiser pair of eyes to see the truth
Mama says I’d be better off, much better off without you
