Ben Harper - Mama's Got A Girlfriend Now lyrics

said he ain't comin' back again

said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best

just couse mama's got a special kind of friend

Papa he left home today

said he ain't comin' back no more

said he ain't gonna take no damn back seat

and how could mama do him so low

But mama's got a girlfriend now boy

mama's got a girlfriend now

mama's got a girlfriend

mama's got a true friend

mama's got a girlfriend now

You see mama don't watch your damn football

and your beer drinkin' just won't do

you're just stayin' out late and you're preachin' the hate

and you never have been true

You see mama she want her somebody

who will let her be herself

so she's leavin' you

and your stinky damn ways

cause she's found somebody else

And mama's got a girlfriend now boy

mama's got a girlfriend now

mama's got a girlfriend

mama's found a true friend

mama's got a girlfriend now

Papa he left home today

he was wavin' his hands and cryin'

you could tell by the sound and the tone in his voice that his heart was slowly dyin'

But mama said

"Boy if I ever catch you 'round here again

you ain't never gonna have nobody else not a woman or a man"

And mama's got a girlfriend now boy

mama's got a girlfriend now

mama's got a girlfriend

mama found a true friend

mama's got a girlfriend now

mama's got a girlfriend now boy

mama's got a girlfriend now

mama's got a girlfriend

mama's found a true friend

mama's got a girlfriend now
