A boy I go to school with calls me up for a date |
| [00:10.480] |
He said "I'll come and get you 'bout a quarter to eight" |
| [00:13.483] |
We go off to a movie where he steals a little kiss |
| [00:16.486] |
And then we park around the corner to explore a little bliss |
| [00:20.007] |
|
| [00:20.755] |
I think his heart's a-pounding but it isn't my man |
| [00:23.516] |
It's my mama out the window with a frying pan |
| [00:26.520] |
|
| [00:27.021] |
Saying, "Hey there, mister, that's my little girl |
| [00:30.030] |
Keep your cultivating fingers off my precious little pearl" |
| [00:33.792] |
I never get to keep no company |
| [00:37.056] |
Because one and one is two but baby |
| [00:39.560] |
Mama makes three |
| [00:42.575] |
|
| [00:44.081] |
Now, ladies, listen up |
| [00:47.844] |
I got a little older with a place of my own |
| [00:50.347] |
A guy from work who's ?? starts ringing my phone |
| [00:53.355] |
We book a little hotel at the Jersey Shore |
| [00:57.118] |
But you know it ain't the ocean that we're goin' there for |
| [01:00.622] |
|
| [01:00.880] |
We go to check in, but then I hear 'em shout |
| [01:03.629] |
Because my mama's at the front desk checkin' us out |
| [01:06.645] |
|
| [01:07.146] |
Saying, "Hey there, mister, mister, don't you come near |
| [01:10.408] |
I have some big reservations 'bout your reservations here" |
| [01:13.672] |
He hit the ground, runnin', as he threw her the key |
| [01:16.923] |
Because one and one is two but baby |
| [01:19.185] |
Mama makes three |
| [01:21.948] |
|
| [01:24.196] |
She chaperon each party, every date, and every day it's |
| [01:27.214] |
"Hey mama, you was once a girl, now give a girl a chance!" |
| [01:30.223] |
I wish my wiser pa could help to free his little bird |
| [01:33.986] |
But he knows that he's a goner if he ever says a word |
| [01:36.997] |
|
| [01:37.252] |
I moved away and finally meet the man of my dreams |
| [01:40.761] |
He put the diamond on my finger, how it sparkles and gleams |
| [01:43.765] |
We have a simple wedding with the shoes and the rice |
| [01:46.773] |
And then we head off to our honeymoon to really break the ice |
| [01:50.038] |
|
| [01:50.794] |
I whispered, "Dim the lights" and go to slip on something red |
| [01:53.545] |
But when I turn around you know who's lying in bed |
| [01:56.808] |
|
| [01:57.309] |
Saying, "Hey there, mister, that's the light of my life |
| [02:00.318] |
I ain't giving up my daughter just because she's your wife" |
| [02:03.839] |
We'll never add a branch to our family tree |
| [02:06.844] |
Because one and one is two but baby |
| [02:09.349] |
Mama makes three, oh! |
| [02:13.372] |
Mama makes three, yeah! |
| [02:16.382] |
Yeah, mama makes three! |
| [02:22.649] |
Yeah, oh! |
