Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, mama
Sneakin' up on me in a black night
Oh, mama
Turn my back just when you twist the knife
[Verse 2]
Oh, mama
I see trouble brewin' in your eyes
Oh, mama
I won't ever let you in my life
[Verse 3]
Oh, you hit me with your lies and your greed
No, that ain't nothin', nothin' that I need
Why would you think that I would ever wanna
Waste my time on you, evil mama
[Verse 4]
Oh, honey
Can only play that jail game once or twice
Oh, honey
Stealin' what ain't yours, just ain't right
[Verse 5]
Pound on that back door but I won't let you in
God and the Devil, I know exactly where you been
Why would you think that I would ever wanna
Waste my time on you, evil mama
[Verse 6]
Why would I let you put your chains on me
Keep me in a cage under lock and key
Why would you think that I would ever wanna
Waste my time on you
Waste my time on you, evil mama
[Verse 7]
Evil mama
Evil mama
Evil mama
Evil mama
