Lyrics
When my body ain't my body
And my nights are not my own
But I can't disconnect my kids
Like you can unplug the phone
And I'm turning into someone
That I don't want to be
I gotta holler just a little
To get what I need
Move these shoes out of the doorway
Get these coats up off the floor
I shouldn't need to ask
Seems I heard that line before
Must I shout, "Pick this stuff up please"
Or is childhood deafness a hot new disease?
Well, I could call off dessert tonight
I could burn supper, I could make you pay
Oh, now you're listening, well hear what I say
If mama ain't happy
Ain't nobody happy
If mama ain't happy
Nobody happy at all
Later on when the kids are in bed
I want to go unconscious, rest my head
Sweetie's checking in, am I in the mood?
Well, all I can say is, "Honey, don't be rude"
Go finish up the dishes
Make me some tea and rub my feet
Maybe then we can get together
Before I fall asleep
See, if mama ain't happy
Ain't nobody happy
If mama ain't happy
Nobody happy at all
Happy at all
Nothing I want to do more than this
You know a child's smile is sweeter than a stolen kiss
Fills me with a meaning to life
When sometimes the little things go right
It's a question of balance
It's a matter of scale
But when it works like it's supposed to work
Nothing feels this way
'Cause if mama, she happy
Everybody happy
If mama, she happy
Everybody, everybody happy
But if mama ain't happy
Ain't nobody, nobody, nobody happy at all
If mama ain't happy
Nobody happy
If mama ain't happy
Nobody happy
If mama ain't happy
Nobody, nobody, nobody happy at all
