You're a mean mistreating mama, and you don't mean me no good You're a mean mistreating mama, and you don't mean me no good And I don't blame you baby, I'd be the same way if I could You say you're going to leave me, well you say you going away You say you're going to leave me, well you say you going away That's all right baby, maybe you'll come back home some day Now you're a mean mistreater, and you mistreats me all the time Now you're a mean mistreater, and you mistreats me all the time Now I tried to love you, swear but you won't pay that no mind Can you remember mama, in the morning I knocked upon your door Can you remember mama, in the morning I knocked upon your door You had the nerve to tell me, that you didn't want me no more Ain't it lonesome, sleeping all by yourself Ain't it lonesome, sleeping all by yourself When the one that you love, is loving someone else
