I Used to Be Your Sweet Mama

Lyrics

Yes I'm mad, and have every right to be
 After what my daddy did to me
 I lavished all my love on him
 But I swear I'll never love again
 All you women understand what it is to be
 In love with a two-time man
 The next time he calls me,"Sweet Mama" in his lovin' way
 This is what I'm going to say
 I used to be your Sweet Mama, Sweet Papa
 But now I'm just as sour as can be
 So don't come stallin' around my way
 Expecting any love from me
 You've had your chance, and proved unfaitful
 So now I'm gonna be, real mean and hateful
 I used to be your Sweet Mama, Sweet Papa
 But now I'm just as sour as can be
 I ain't gonna let no man, worry me sick
 Or turn this hair of mine gray
 As soon as I catch him at his two-time trick
 I'm gonna tell him to be on his way
 To the world I scream
 No man can treat me mean
 And expect my love all the time
 When he roams away, he better stay
 If he comes back, he'll find
 You've had your chance, and proved unfaitful
 So now I'm gonna be, real mean and hateful
 I used to be your Sweet Mama, Sweet Papa
 But now I'm just as sour as can be
