lyrics

You play the victim, make me the bad guy
You never listen, you always think that you're right. You think that you're right

Always late, you never take the blame
cuz you're the king and everyone else can wait. Oh everyone waits

I I I I I'm not your mama, don't get it twisted, it's me your lovah
I I I I I'm not your mama, but I can see that, you're just a baby boy

So narcissistic, under your own spell
Look in the mirror, you fall in love with yourself. Oh beautiful boy

And when you grow up, you say you'll be a man
but then you show up, you act like Peter Pan. Oh beautiful boy

I I I I I'm not your mama, don't get it twisted, it's me your lovah
I I I I I'm not your mama, but I can see that, you're just a baby boy

Well I could try to teach you, it's just so hard to reach you when you don't look at yourself,no, you don't look at yourself.

In denial, and I would help you out but it seems final, you like living your life up in the clouds.

I I I I I'm not your mama, don't get it twisted, I'll be your lovah
I I I I I'm not your mama, but I can see that, you're just a baby boy
