I can't, can't stand your mother 

She's just so much in our business 

And I can't really deal with it 

I can't, can't stand your mother 

Try to have you as a friend 

But you've got to understand 


(Raphael) 

I used to love when 

Christmas time came around 

But now all I do is frown (frown, frown, frown) 

I can't even talk to you on my own 

Believe it or not (whispher) 

And I can't even use my own damn phone 

That why I can't stand your mama babe 


I can't, can't stand your mother 

She's just so much in our business 

And I can't really deal with it 

I can't, can't stand your mother 

Try to have you as a friend 

But you've got to understand 


(Dawne) 

I didn't really wanna to go there (go there) 

But your mama's in my head 

In the closet 

In the bedroom 

Saying things that I can't bear 

Telling me how I should live 

Tell me how to raise my kid 

Always wanna borrow money 

Got the nerve to act so funny 

You better deal with her 

Or you'll be living with her 

Cause I, cause I 


I can't, can't stand your mother 

She's just so much in our business 

And I can't really deal with it 

I can't, can't stand your mother 

Try to have you as a friend 

But you've got to understand 


(Raphael) 

Girl, your mama's wrong 

Living with her daughter 

When her ass is grown 

Thought we were supposed 

To be alone 

All I wanna do is wear 

My own cologne 

Well, well 


(Dawne) 

Your mama's just as bad 

Needs to mind her business 

With her nosy ass 

Showing up uninvited 

She ain't go no class 

Complaining, always hating 

About the things we have 

Can't deal with that 


Repeat 


I can't, can't stand your mother 

She's just so much in our business 

And I can't really deal with it 

I can't, can't stand your mother 

Try to have you as a friend 

But you've got to understand 


I can't, can't stand your mother 

She's just so much in our business 

And I can't really deal with it 

I can't, can't stand your mother 

Try to have you as a friend 

But you've got to understand 


(Dawne) 

I'm through with you 

And your mama too 

Get your walking shoes 

Get to stepping fool 

Cause I'm through with you 

So, through with you 

And your mama too 

Get your walking shoes 

Get to stepping fool 

Cause I'm through with you 


I can't, can't stand your mother 

She's just so much in our business 

And I can't really deal with it 

I can't, can't stand your mother 

Try to have you as a friend 

But you've got to understand
