Mama Don't Like My Man Lyrics - Sharon Jones And The Dap-kings

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

Why you don't like my man? 

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

Why can't you understand? 

You say he's rough around the edges 

He don't always act right 

But when we're all alone 

Don't you know he treats me right? 

Now, loving him could be so easy 

Loving him could be so easy 

But mama don't like my man 

No, she don't like my man 

Don't like the way he's dressed 

Or the cigarettes he smokes 

Don't like the company he keeps 

Or the color of his jokes 

You said he's ain't no good 

You says he's rough and he's lazy 

How can I explain? 

How the way he drives me crazy 

But loving him could be so easy 

Loving him could be so easy 

But mama don't like my man 

No, she don't like my man 

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

Why you don't like my man? 

Whoa, mama, mama, mama 

Why can't you understand? 

Now, loving him could be so easy 

Loving him could be so easy 

But mama don't like my man 

No, she don't like my man
