She left the cradle when she learned to crawl With mama on the front porch she walked off Headed for the city in a pair of high heeled shoes And if she'll leave her mama son she'll sure leave you. Don't take it so hard and blame yourself 'Cause you ain't the first one that she ever left She loves her mama but she loves a good time too And if she'll leave her mama son she'll sure leave you. Oh, you can give her love and you give her hell No matter what you give her she wants somethin' else You know she's gonna do exactly what she wants to And if she'll leave her mama son she'll sure leave you.
