A Gain

Mama had such high hopes for me
Lover don't know where'd those hopes go
Mama's gonna buy me a dvd
When the saints march into the W Hotel
Mama's gonna buy me new hair gel
Love is gonna tell me love don't last
Mama's gonna tell me I ain't high class
Love is gonna be a long lost biological father
Lover's gonna give me worst day of my life
Mama's gonna tell me the world I thought was the world is not the world
Love is gonna make me a hungry man
