Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), I'm on child support
She get welfare checks, but I stay in court
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), She be ridin' Caddy
And she always lookin' for sugar daddies
It's my baby daddy (yeanknow?) He be always broke
And he ain't no good, nothin' but a joke
It's my baby daddy (yeanknow?), He just love to have it
He be cheatin' on me, that's why I can't stand him
Man, this freak has got me stressin', in the court I must confessin'
Playas tryna get that checkin', who put hickeys on yo' neckin'?
In that jail, I can't be stayin' and my G's you can't be cakin'
Child support can burn like torch when you get behind on payments
Here they go, them send them letters then they wanna come and get ya
Probably shoulda used a Jimmy probably, shoulda neva met her
Why you wanna try to impress me?
Always lyin', tryna caress me
All these so-called ballas want me, boy, I'm styled you know I'm sexy
I'm LaChat, you see I'm swole, got you waitin' at a toll
Betta to break me off a fee, keep yo' girl on yo' payroll
See me switchin', blowin' out kisses, dudes don't know what they be missin'
I'm the type of girl you need, keep some cookin' in the kitchen
Bake yo' biscuits up from scratch, get you sprung off my cat
But you betta take care of yo' kids, Juvenile Court is where it's at (where it's at?)
Yeanknow? Cheese is missin', you ain't show
And that freak you shackin' wit', she too nice, I'm mean though
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), I'm on child support
She get welfare checks, but I stay in court
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), She be ridin' Caddy
And she always lookin' for sugar daddies
It's my baby daddy (yeanknow?) He be always broke
And he ain't no good, nothin' but a joke
It's my baby daddy (yeanknow?), He just love to have it
He be cheatin' on me, that's why I can't stand him
It's DJ P and brothas be out we just tryin' to be dawgs
But it's okay, ain't nan ho gon' stop the way that we walk
We kickin' dis off in them dose' and when it's on they gon' run
And please believe when we come we gon' come like a nut cum
Down and dirty in these streets, rough and rugged on these freaks
Ridin' Caddy Automatic, man, we got to keep that heat
Keep that heat for them streets 'cause, man, these streets be watchin' me
Memphis, Tenn. Kick the chains, playas gotta kick the crease
The Vision 2 Juvenile Court is where they had yo' boy
Monthly payments I gotta pay, but I keep comin' short
Now that I'm payin' child support and these courts got me runnin', man
Spendin' nights with these other freaks' house and all my dawgs, man
Warrants for yo' boy arrest, got me sweatin' from the stress
Gettin' drunk and high all night 'bout to drive me to that white
Man, if these boys want me, they gon' really have to find me
Messin' off with these scallywag hoes, they so grimey
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), I'm on child support
She get welfare checks, but I stay in court
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), She be ridin' Caddy
And she always lookin' for sugar daddies
It's my baby daddy (yeanknow?) He be always broke
And he ain't no good, nothin' but a joke
It's my baby daddy (yeanknow?), He just love to have it
He be cheatin' on me, that's why I can't stand him (why you playin'?)
Boy, yo' baby need some shoes, boy, yo' baby need some clothes
Need to try and pay yo' fees, why you out here payin' these hoes?
Ain't no more for me and you, but this what they gotta do
With the seed we have conceived, don't you know he's part of you?
I don't wanna hear yo' mess, talk to me bout' givin' checks
Put a judge up in my business, what I want is what I get
Shoulda known it from the jump, all that talk was just a front
Now you payin' for that layin', see yo' ass in court next month
Pay you cheese, I'll give you quarters, I'll just wait for court to order
Mexico is where you'll find me, somewhere 'round the fuckin' border
Hangin' with the finest women, walkin' wit' a gansta limpin'
Drinkin' on a case of DP, goody green you know we wit' it
I done hustled worth a job and broke some back there wasn't no stoppin'
You done did the clubbin' hoppin' and them pills you kept on poppin'
Now I see why you be freakin', now I know why you be geekin'
If you wanna give me reasons, catch me in that playa season
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), I'm on child support
She get welfare checks, but I stay in court
It's my baby mama (yeanknow?), She be ridin' Caddy
And she always lookin' for sugar daddies

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
yee know.
