Mama's Broken Heart Lyrics - Singles - Duets

i cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors 

i screamed his name til the neighbors called the cops 

i numbed the pain at the expense of my liver 

i don't know what i did next all i know, i couldn't stop 

word got around to the barflies & the baptists 

my mama's phone started ringin off the hook 

i can hear her now sayin she ain't gonna have it 

don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look 

go & fix your make up, girl it's just a break up 

run & hide your crazy & start actin like a lady 

cause i raised you better, gotta keep it together 

even when you fall apart 

but this ain't my mama's broken heart 

wish i could be just a little less dramatic 

like a kennedy when camelot went down in flames 

leave it to me to be holdin the matches 

when the fire trucks show up & there's nobody else to blame 

can't get revenge & keep a spotless reputation 

sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make 

my mama came from a softer generation 

where you get a grip & bite your lip just to save a little face 

go & fix your make up, girl it's just a break up 

run & hide your crazy & start actin like a lady 

cause i raised you better, gotta keep it together 

even when you fall apart 

but this ain't my mama's broken heart 

powder your nose, paint your toes 

line your lips & keep em closed 

cross your legs, dot your i's 

& never let em see you cry 

go & fix your make up, girl it's just a break up 

run & hide your crazy & start actin like a lady 

cause i raised you better, gotta keep it together 

even when you fall apart 

but this ain't my mama's broken heart
