lyrics

Mama always told her, Baby, be good
Don’t want no bad reputation in a nice neighborhood
But you know to have pride, you’ve had to have shame
She woke up in his bed, but she didn’t know his name

She sang, Hey, Mama, your baby’s gone bad
You see, I didn’t have him long, but he’s the best I ever had
And, no drama, that’s how you play the game
Gonna love ya night through mornin’, till I get to know your name

Daddy always told her, Girl, you gone wrong
Givin’ men a bad impression with the words in your songs
But she told him, Old Man, don’t tell me how to sing
They fall in love inside the bar, and I take ‘em home with me

She cried, Hey, Daddy, your baby’s gone bad
You see, I didn’t have him long, but he’s the best I ever had
And, no drama, that’s how you play the game
Gonna love ya night through mornin’, till I get to know your name

Now her mama, and her daddy, and the local boys too
Are sayin’, Girl, get some control before the Devil gets you
You can drink all night, and sleep all day
But you can only use a man up in so many ways

They told her, Hey, Baby, you better simmer down
Before your fire burns down all your bridges in town
Play it cool, Baby, you know it ain’t right
To try ‘n sing ‘n sleep your way into the local limelight
To try ‘n sing ‘n sleep your way into the local limelight
To try ‘n sing ‘n sleep your way into the local limelight
