Lyric When Mama Ain t Happy

(Rick Giles/Tim Nichols/Gilles Godard)

Ever since Monday
I ve seen it comin
When I say what s wrong
She just says nothin
Well I ain t about to let it go
Cause I ve loved her long enough to know

When Mama Ain t Happy, ain t nobody happy
So daddy s gonna make mama happy tonight
I ve got a limo waitin and dinner reservations
A corner table with some candlelight
We re gonna spend some money, I m gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain t happy, ain t nobody happy
So daddy s gonna make mama happy tonight

I see in those green eyes
Her red-head temper
And she can make July
As cold as December
Well I love her every way she is
But brother I ve discovered at times like this

When Mama ain t happy, ain t nobody happy
So daddy s gonna make mama happy tonight
I told the babysitter, fix a macaroni dinner
And try to get the kids in bed by nine
We re gonna spend some money, I m gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain t happy, ain t nobody happy
So daddy s gonna make mama happy tonight

When mama ain t happy, ain t nobody happy
So daddy s gonna make mama happy tonight
