[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
Hey, hey, mama, what’s the matter here
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to love me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what’s the matter here
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
That's alright, it's awful dog-gone clear

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean
Hey, hey baby, why you treat me mean
You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, mama, why’d you treat me mean
You didn’t have say you'd always be by my side
You didn’t have to tell me you'd be my blushing bride
Hey, baby, why you treat me mean
But that's alright, I know your sister, too

[Verse 3]
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn’t have to leave me, mama, let me go
Hey, mama, what is wrong with you
You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face
Hey, mama, what is wrong with you
Yes and that's alright, I'd be the same way, too
