"Mama Told Me Not To Come" lyrics

Mama Told Me Not To Come

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions
You're asking me?
This is the craziest party
That ever could be
Don't turn on the lights
Cause I don't wanna see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

Open up your window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking
From the smell of stale perfume

And that cigarette you're smoking
About scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker
Let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
"That ain't the way to have fun
Son
That ain't the way to have fun
Son"
She said
She said

The radio is blasting
Someone's knocking at the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is
I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said
"That ain't the way to have fun
Son
That ain't the way to have fun
No"

Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, told me, told me
Mama told me
Ooh, yeah
Mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me
Yes, she told me
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

"That ain't the way to have fun
No
That ain't the way to have fun
Son
That ain't the way to have fun
No
That ain't the way to have fun
Son"
