Mama Don't Like My Man - Sharon Jones, The Dap-Kings

Ooooh mama mama mama

Why you don’t like my man

Ooooh mama mama mama

Why can’t you understand

You say he’s rough around the edges

He don’t always act right

But when we’re all alone

Don’t you know he treats me right

Now loving him could be so easy

Loving him could be so easy

But mama don’t like my man

No she don’t like my man

Don’t like the way he dresses

Or the cigarettes he smokes

Don’t like the company he keeps

Or the color of his jokes

You say he ain’t no good

He says he’s rough and he is lazy

How can I explain

How the way he drives me crazy

But loving him could be so easy

Loving him could be so easy

But mama don’t like my man

No she don’t like my man

Ooooh mama mama mama

Why you don’t like my man

Ooooh mama mama mama

Why can’t you understand

Loving him could be so easy

Loving him could be so easy

But mama don’t like my man

No she don’t like my man
