Well if you love your mama and you treat her right But she keeps on fussin' at you every day and night then she's triflin' on ye they'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind Now if your mama's mean take a tip from me Lock her up at home Lord just hang on to the key Cause she trifle on ye they'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind But if your mama's good I'll tell you what to do Give her lots of lovin' and what she wants to do She'll trifle on ye they'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind [ piano ] Now you come home to your mama find your clothes ain't clean You can bet you're slippin' if you get just what I mean Cause she's been triflin' on ye they'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind Now you may have a mama who says that she is true But wait till you get down and out and really leave her too She'll trifle on ye they'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind Now I've been lotta places not much I ain't done But when it comes to women I just don't trust a one Because they'll trifle on ye they'll do it every time And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind (Really drive you crazy)
