Words and music by Ben Harper
Papahe left home today
And said he ain t comin back again
Said he ain t gonna be nobody s second best
Just cause mama s got a special kind of friend
Papahe left home today
Said he ain t comin back no more
Said he ain t gonna take no damn back seat
And how could mama do him so low
But mama s got a girlfriend nowboy !
Mama s got a girlfriend now
Mama s got a girlfriend
Mama s got a true friend
Mama s got a girlfriend now
You see mama don t watch your damn football
And your beer drinkin just won t do
You re just stayin out late
And you re preachin the hate
And you never have been true
You seemama she want her somebody
Who will let her be herself
So she s leavin you and your stinky damn ways
Cause she s found somebody else
And mama s got a girlfriend now boy
Mama s got a girlfriend now
Mama s got a girlfriend
Mama s found a true friend
Mama s got a girlfriend now
Papa he left home today
He was wavin his hands and cryin
You could tell by the sound and the tone in his voice
That his heart was slowly dyin
But mama said :
Boy if I ever catch you round here again
You ain t never gonna have nobody else
Not a woman or a man
And mama s got a girlfriend now boy
Mama s got a girlfriend now
Mama s got a girlfriend
Mama s found a true friend
Mama s got a girlfriend now
Mama s got a girlfriend nowboy!
Mama s got a girlfriend now
Mama s got a girlfriend
Mama s found a true friend
Mama s got a girlfriend now
