Yo Mama

I’m gonna go down town, I’m gonna find myself some fun
I’m gonna go down town, I’m gonna find myself someone
Forget your hair, forget your smell until there’s none
I couldn’t bear to sit and stare until they’re gone
I’m praying to gods I never need
Saying I won’t go out quietly
I'm gonna go downtown, I'm gonna find myself someone
Without your hair, without your smell, without your love
Found someone new to make me blue, now that we’re done
I couldn’t stay to watch you grey and fade away, like everyone
And now I’m praying to gods I never need
Saying I won’t go out quietly
I’m praying to gods I don’t believe
Saying you, you won’t take me quietly
'Cause my mama, she gave me these lungs
And my papa, he gave me this tongue
My mama, she gave me these lungs
And my papa, he gave me this tongue
And so I went downtown and I found myself someone
Without your hair, without your smell, without your love
We’re only young for just this once, and then we’re done
I couldn’t stay to watch you grey, and now I see your face in everyone
I’m praying to gods I never need
Saying I won’t go out quietly
I’m praying to gods I don’t believe
Saying please, won’t you bring her back to me?
