Now if you love your momma and you treat her right
And she keeps on fussing at you every day and night
She's gonna trifle on ya
She'll do it every time
And when your baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your mind
Now if your momma's mean, take a tip from me
Lock her in the closet, but hang on to that key
She's gonna trifle on ya
They'll do it every time
And when your baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your mind (all right, boys)
But if your momma's good, I'll tell you what to do
Give her lots of loving, lord, but watch her closely too
She's gonna trifle on ya
Ah, they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your mind
Now you come to your momma, find your clothes ain't clean
You can bet you're slipping if you get just what I mean
She's gonna trifle on ya
Ah, she'll do it every time
And when your baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your mind
