[00:22.59]My mama don't understand
[00:25.46]She's impossible to the core
[00:29.03]Now she says that she's gettin' married
[00:32.65]He's a friend of a friend of the boy next door
[00:36.53]He's got all of the best intentions
[00:40.47]Half of a school degree
[00:43.65]When he does his song and dancin'
[00:47.15]They know they can be happy as the shows on TV
[00:51.59]She needs a change, she wants a life
[00:53.53]Where she can grow and they can thrive
[00:56.22]Some kind of space of her own
[00:59.03]A different view, another slant
[01:00.72]Another way, another chance
[01:03.47]To get on with her life
[01:05.15]（Mama she don't understand）
[01:07.96]Mama she don't
[01:08.78]She don't even know
[01:09.53]She don't know
[01:11.15]She don't understand
[01:13.34]She's gotta know
[01:14.34]If she can cut life on her own
[01:16.40]But like the man says
[01:19.03]"You can never go home again"
[01:20.40]You gotta come see the new place
[01:23.34]Mom, you're gonna feel right at home
[01:26.90]Could you just front that deposit
[01:30.40]Mama, we'll pay you back when the welfare check comes
[01:34.65]Nothin's gone as expected
[01:37.90]No one knows all the trouble we've seen
[01:41.46]But we'll pull ourselves together
[01:42.78]
[01:45.23]It's the two of us now, of course, baby makes three
[01:49.23]A little luck, an even break
[01:51.48]We'll find a way to have our cake
[01:54.11]And even eat a piece or two
[01:56.85]We'll show you how
[01:57.92]
[01:58.74]We're winnin' now
[01:59.43]We'll live it up
[02:00.24]Can't keep 'em down
[02:02.93]
[02:23.18]She don't understand me
[02:29.30]Don't understand me
[02:32.74]So mama, please understand
[02:34.74]（Mama, please understand）
[02:35.99]If it's possible, we implore
[02:39.42]Could we just move in these few things
[02:43.05]We won't get in the way and we'll sleep on the floor
[02:47.30]'Cuz, times have been getting tougher
[02:49.43]（Times have been getting tough）
[02:50.86]It's an unfriendly world outside
[02:52.36]
[02:54.01]They say things will pick up by summer
[02:57.69]Can we borrow the car, will you watch little Clyde
[03:01.44]Thanks a lot
[03:03.69]
