What do you want from me now mama
I picked you up when you were down
All of the time I thought you loved me
You were runnin' all around.
You got the wrong information
'Cause it's a bad situation
So you just
Walk yourself right out that door mama
I don't want you anymore.
If I said that you'd grown cold lately
That'd be an understated fact
I'd get more lovin' fom an iceberg baby
So before you melt, get off my back.
There's gonna be a slight correction
You'd better find a new connection
Get out your spring-a-later shoes
Start payin' your own dues
I don't want you anymore.
You strut around town with your nose up in the air
I'll bet you've never seen the ground
You'd better learn how to breath through your ears mama
'Cause if it rained right now you'd drown.
To avoid a misinterpretation
It's time you took a long vacation forever
You just walk yourself right out that door mama
I don't want you anymore.
What do you want from me now mama
I picked you up when you were down
All of the time I thought you loved me
You were runnin' all around.
You got the wrong information
'Cause it's a bad situation
So you just
Walk yourself right out that door mama
I don't want you anymore.
So long mama...
