Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ol' black Bascom, don't break no mirrors
Cold black water dog, make no tears
You say you love me with what may be love
Don't you remember makin' baby love?
Guess you got your steam drill now, and you're lookin' for some kid
To get it to work for you like your 9 lb hammer did
[PreChorus]
But I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind
[Chorus]
Tell me, Momma
Tell me, Momma
Tell me, Momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
[Verse 2]
Black sunglasses came here, I don't even mind
Tombstone babes, y'all can get it done
Fool's gold in your teeth and your cemetery hips
Get outside of your graveyard lips
Yes, everybody's wondering when your friendship's gonna end
But come on, baby, I'm your friend
[PreChorus]
And I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind
[Chorus]
Tell me, Momma
Tell me, Momma
Tell me, Momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
[Verse 3]
Oh so pleasing that your face is red
Anything he can give you, he's almost dead
Everybody sees you on your window ledge
How long's it gonna take you to get off the edge?
You just gonna make everybody jump and roar
Now, whatcha wanna go and do that for?
[PreChorus]
'Cause I know that you know that I know that you show
Something is tearing up your mind
[Chorus]
Tell me, Momma
Tell me, Momma
Tell me, Momma, what is it?
What's wrong with you this time?
