i should've listened to my mother

when she told me about them

you can't trust nobody

not even friends man my daughter's blind

that girl done lost her mind

if she listen to her mother

she wouldn't be broken down and crying

i don't deserve to be your mother

oh for all the pain i've caused

oh because of all these secrets

oh now i've lost it all

hmm gave her all my love

guess it wasn't enough

now she's gonna be a mother

i guess she never cared about us

why does she listen to her mother

when she tells those lies

her mother won't be happy

until i'm out of her life

that boy ain't no good

my child deserves the best

she should listen to her mother

and do what mama says

yes oh yeah yeah
