Lyrics
My mind is mist, not a brain cell in sight
I can't think a single thought, my Mama was right
I cry a tear, can't eat even a bite
I don't want to go to work, my Mama was right
My Mama was right about you
She said, "get back to work and forget that jerk"
My Mama was right about you
I bite my nails, stare out into the night
I can't get myself dressed, my Mama was right
I can't go out, I can't see a friend
I can't watch no TV, my Mama was right in the end
My Mama was right about you
She said, "get back to work and forget that jerk"
My Mama was right about you
But Mama why did I see you leaning on him?
Were you talkin' about me and my problem?
Mama, why did I see you holding his hand?
Mama, why were you kissing my old man?
My mind is mist and my future looks dim
He was wrong for me, but Mama was right for him
