Lyrics Mama Don't Like My Man - Sharon Jones, The Dap-Kings

Mama Don't Like My Man

Ooooh mama mama mama
Why you don’t like my man
Ooooh mama mama mama
Why can’t you understand
You say he’s rough around the edges
He don’t always act right
But when we’re all alone
Don’t you know he treats me right
Now loving him could be so easy
Loving him could be so easy
But mama don’t like my man
No she don’t like my man
Don’t like the way he dresses
Or the cigarettes he smokes
Don’t like the company he keeps
Or the color of his jokes
You say he ain’t no good
He says he’s rough and he is lazy
How can I explain
How the way he drives me crazy
But loving him could be so easy
Loving him could be so easy
But mama don’t like my man
No she don’t like my man
Ooooh mama mama mama
Why you don’t like my man
Ooooh mama mama mama
Why can’t you understand
Loving him could be so easy
Loving him could be so easy
But mama don’t like my man
No she don’t like my man
