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
