[00:01.194]Veronica:
[00:07.719]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!
