Momma Gets By lyrics

Mama gets by while Papa gets high She makes enough to raise her family She's workin' all day to bring in the pay She's taking good care of me Givin' me every opportunity And if it rains, she never complains She's tough enough to make it through the storm, mm-hm Papa gets back and heads for the sack As soon as he steps inside the kitchen door But she doesn't mind, she's seen it all before She doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to be his wife And even though he's complicated, she takes it in her stride What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside? She loves him She loves him with all her heart and soul All her heart and soul Because she loves him She loves him with all her heart and soul All her heart and soul Well, she doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to be his wife And even though he's complicated, she takes it in her stride What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside? She loves him She loves him with all her heart and soul, all her heart and soul Because she loves him And she loves him with all her heart and soul With all her heart and soul Mama gets by while Papa gets high Mama, kiss bye
