Lyrics

My baby easy my mind

Makes me feel secure

But nowadays you know

I just can't be too sure

I got a back up mama

And she lives away across town

I got a back up mama

And mama number one is not around

You can't tell about a woman

That can't get by me

So I check in twice a month

Making sure she's on my team

I got a back up mama

She lives away across town

And mama number one is not around

I call it love insurance

I know I'm in goo hands

I don't worry if my baby

Finds another man

Cause I got a back up mama

She lives away across town

I got a back up mama

And mama number one is not around

I keep a back up mama

If mama number one is not around
