BLUES SONG OF THE DAY (Male): Doyle Bramhall II: Mama Can't Help You (Bramhall) (From "Rich Man", 2016, Concord Records)

===========
Yo' mama can't help you no more
Believe it

Well, well, well, baby
Oh, yeah
I'm sorry that I looked your way
Didn't know what I was getting into
And everything I had to lose
To get small enough to fit in your life
So I got to sit down and think about it'
Cause you're taking me out
I lost myself
Nothing left to lose
I don't want no more shit now
And I'm tired of living this way
And you're causing

Oh, Yo' mama can't help you no more
Oh, you're alone now
Yo mama can't help you no more
And she's lonely just like you

I'm not into living this way
And I ain't playing, baby
I've got to make a move
With my heart in the dirt and my toes on the yard
Oh I can't see past your knee
Your jealousy and greed now
You take everything
And I'm out on the street

So why you still stirring up shit now?
Are you tired of being this way?

Oh! Yo mama can't help you no more
Can't do it, babe
Oh, who are you gonna blame?
You're making a mess of me
Using up everything
Yo mama can't help you no more
It's time to grow up
You're making a mess of me
Using up everything

The street beats sharing yo' shelter
Too cold and too small for two
Only ever made room for you
You need your greed and your jealousy
I wanna get with it
I'm getting right with me
Come on lady, get right with yourself

Don't matter how hard you hit now
I'm so much stronger
And I can't hear you
Oh, break it down

Can't help you no more
No, can't help you no more
You're making a mess of me
Using up everything
No, yo' mama can't help you no more
Oh, baby
You're making a mess of me
Using up everything

Yeah, Oh, that man don't fit no more
I can't help you with that no more
I gotta a new life
I got my whole stuff back

But I ain't got my watch
Ain't that cold?
