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
