Mama's in love, Papa's in love,
It's such a shame they don't love each other. (Oh no)
(Oh no...)
Papa's in a jam, Mama's throwin' pans,
The game's up, it's time to run for cover.
Ohhh yeah...
Everybody's cryin' but they can't stop hopin',
Everybody's lookin' for the door that's open.
Mama's making heat to keep the old fire smokin',
Papa's hangin' on to his old love token.
Oh! Whow...
You got love but you ain't got style,
You want your freedom but in a while,
You're lost children but you know for sure,
You gotta find out who your love is for.
Yeah! Oh baby, life ain't what it used to be!
You're tellin' me - not since you 'been hangin' round here!
Mama what you screamin' for, actin' like a demon for,
And hey, mama quit wavin' them hands in the air!
What! Don't talk to me that way!
Well I don't see no reason to raise your voice to me, man!
You put fat in the fire, you got meat for brains!
Well you don't give me comfort and a man's gotta get it somewhere!
Ooh, that's a shame.
Yeah, well...
Well, Mama's hangin' on to every word that's spoken,
But Papa's hangin' onto his old love token...
(That's what it is, here it comes babe!)
Yeah... yeah yeah...
Oh, I don't wanna leave you, Mama, (oh)
Oh, I don't wanna leave you, Papa...
Long haired women gonna turn you to stone,
You can't beat em, cos you need 'em.
You gotta live, you gotta love,
Your love token's gotta fit like a glove.
Hey, listen to the story 'bout the dream that's broken,
You gotta keep a hold of your old love token.
Oh I don't wanna leave you, Mama (Mama Mama Mama Mama Mama)
Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa (Papa Papa Papa Papa Papa)
Oh I don't wanna leave,
No I don't wanna leave,
No I don't wanna leave,
No I don't wanna leave you alone!
But I'm gonna have to, babe...
