Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One who would love you and give you the world.
Then you find, babe, that you've been misused,
Come to me, honey, I'll do what you choose.
She'd embarrass you anywhere,
She'd make her friends think that she didn't care
And I just want to take care of you and I want you to
Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need
Tell Mama, what you want and I'll make everything alright
The girl you had didn't have no sense,
She wasn't worth all the time that you spent
Had another man throw you out the door,
Now that same man is wearing your clothes
I want you to
Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need
Tell your Mama, what you got to have

You thought you had found yourself a good girl,
You believed that you had discovered a decent lady
One who would love you and give you the world.
Someone who would adore you and offer you everything

You realize, my dear, that you've been taken advantage of
Come to me, honey, I'll do what you choose.
Come to me, darling, and I'll do whatever you decide
She'd embarrass you anywhere,
She would humiliate you in any situation
She'd make her friends think that she didn't care

The girl you had was senseless

The time you spent with her wasn't worth it
Had another man throw you out the door,
Another man threw you out of the house
Now that same man is wearing your clothes
Now that same man is wearing your clothing
I want you to
I want you to
Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need
Tell your mother what you desire, tell your mother what you require
Tell your Mama, what you got to have
Tell your mother what you absolutely need
