I tell people about this song all the time. The song writing structure... the whole first part he's kind of beating around the bush talking to his Mother.... then he drops the bomb... "She's gonna leave me Momma!"... And such a sad chord progression.... with a very deep, twisted logic why he is so much like his Dad. A broken heart is always looking for that love potion, or in this case the "magic words" to get a love back. I honestly can't get through the song without tears in my eyes... I need a psychiatrist to figure THAT one out! Ha!
