Well, if you love your mama and you treat her right
But she keeps on fussin' at you everyday and night
And she's triflin' on you, they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
Now if your mama's mean, take a tip from me
Lock her up at home but Lord hang on to that key
'Cause she won't triflin' on you, she'll do it every time
And when your baby starts steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
But if your mama's good I'll tell you what to do
Give her lots of lovin', Lord, but watch her closely too
'Cause she's gonna trifle on you, they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
Now you come home to your mama, find your clothes ain't clean
You can bet you're slippin' if you know just what I mean
'Cause she's been triflin' on you, they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
Now you may have a mama who says that she is true
But wait till you get down and out and really need her too
She'll trifle on you, they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
Now I've been lotta places, not much I ain't done
But when it comes to women, Lord, I just don't trust no one
Because they'll trifle on ye, they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
Nearly drive you crazy
