Papa he left home today 
Said he ain't comin' back again 
Said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best 
Just cause mama's got a special kind of friend 

Papa he left home today 
Said he ain't comin' back no more 
Said he ain't gonna take no damn back seat and how could mama do him so low 

But mama's got a girlfriend now boy 
Mama's got a girlfriend 
Now mama's got a girlfriend mama's got a true friend 
Mama's got a girlfriend now 

You see mama don't watch your damn football and your beer drinkin' 
Just won't do you're just stayin' out late and you're preachin' 
The hate and you never have been true 

You see mama she want her 
Somebody who will let her be herself 
so she's leavin' you and your stinky damn ways cause 

She's found somebody else 
And mama's got a girlfriend 
Now boy mama's got a girlfriend 
Now mama's got a girlfriend mama's found a true friend 
Mama's got a girlfriend now 

Papa he left home today 
He was wavin' his hands and cryin' 
You could tell by the sound and the tone in his voice that 
His heart was slowly dyin' 

But mama said "Boy if I ever catch you 'round here again 
You ain't never gonna have nobody else not a woman or a man" 

And mama's got a girlfriend 
Now boy mama's got a girlfriend 
Now mama's got a girlfriend mama found a true friend 
Mama's got a girlfriend 
Now mama's got a girlfriend 
Now boy mama's got a girlfriend 
Now mama's got a girlfriend 
Mama's found a true friend 
Mama's got a girlfriend now
