Hey, hey mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to love me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Hey, hey mama, what's the matter here
That's alright, it's awful dog-gone clear
Hey, hey baby, why you treat me mean
You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey mama, why'd you treat me mean
You didn't have say you'd always be by my side
I didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushing bride
Hey, hey mama, why you treat me mean
But that's alright, I know your sisters too
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to leave me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey mama, what is wrong with you
You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face
Hey, hey mama, what is wrong with you
But that's alright, I'd be the same way too
You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to tell me you would be my own
You didn't have to tell me, baby, let me go
Hey, hey mama, what is wrong with you
That's alright, I know your sister too
What's the matter with you, mama
