Except Your Mama

Chorus

They love me everywhere I go

Except your mama she says no

She thinks I'm a rolling stone

Best if I just leave you alone

Yeah everyone is glad to see my face

Except your mama keeps me out the place

Verse 1

Papa shook my hand at the kitchen door

He said I want to see you more

Your brother bought a soda pop for me

Best pals we could ever be

Baby sister did a happy little dance

Told me that I really had a chance

Pre-Chorus

But there is a shadow in the hall

She does not like me at all

No she does not like me one bit

The fire is lit

Chorus

They love me everywhere I go

Except your mama she says no

She thinks I'm a rolling stone

Best if I just leave you alone

Yeah everyone is glad to see my face

Except your mama keeps me out the place

Verse 2

Your neighbors wave when I drive down the lane

They say they're glad I came back again

I've got the milkman smiling at my smile

Happy to stay a while

Even the mailman thinks I'm the guy

Underneath this sunny sky

Pre-Chorus

But the kitchen curtains start to twitch

She thinks there's some kind of glitch

She is watching every move I make

For goodness sake

Chorus

They love me everywhere I go

Except your mama she says no

She thinks I'm a rolling stone

Best if I just leave you alone

Yeah everyone is glad to see my face

Except your mama keeps me out the place

Bridge

Maybe if I brought a box of candy

Maybe if I acted more like Andy

Maybe if I trimmed my hair

She might find some love to spare

Chorus

They love me everywhere I go

Except your mama she says no

She thinks I'm a rolling stone

Best if I just leave you alone

Yeah everyone is glad to see my face

Except your mama keeps me out the place
