[Verse 1]
Wow, there is somethin' goin' down
Like the storm in the sky, ooh
I ain't gonna be played by your behavior
How can I trust someone who's lyin' to me?

[Pre-Chorus]
So, bow out, go
Now, I said, bow out and leave
I said take your stuff, and go
'Cause you're not for me, no

[Chorus]
Mamma knows best when times get hard
And Papa always has a joke to make me laugh
See, Mamma knows best when, ha, I feel down
To bring me up and always keep my feet on solid ground
Yeah

[Verse 2]
See, I ain't no new old rag doll that you can pick up and drop
And all of this inconsistent love
I think it's time that it S-T-O, stops

[Pre-Chorus]
Bow out, go
Now, I said, bow out and leave
I said take your bags, and go
'Cause you're not for me, no
[Chorus]
Mamma knows best when times get hard
And Papa always has a joke to make me laugh
See, Mamma knows best when, yeah, I feel down
To bring me up and always keep my feet on solid ground
Yeah

[Bridge]
"Just be the best," my daddy said to me
"Always use humor as your therapy, yeah-yeah
Don't ever take life too seriously
Do you, 'cause you do you so perfectly"

[Outro]
Yeah
See, mamma, mamma knows best
See, daddy, daddy knows best
See mamma, mama knows
See, mamma knows best when, yes, I feel down
So bring me up and always keep my feet on the ground
