Hey, Lordy Mama Songtext / Lyric

Hey Lordy mama

I heard you wasn't feeling' good

They're spreadin' dirty rumors

All around the neighborhood

They say you're mean and evil

And don't know what to do

That's the reason that he's gone

And left you black and blue

Hey yeah

Tell me what you gonna do now






They say he's left you all alone

To weather this old storm

He's got another woman now

Hangin' on his arm, yeah yeah yeah

That old fool's tellin' everybody

He's sick and tired of you

Hey Lordy Lordy mama

What you gonna do

Hey yeah

Tell me what you gonna do



They say you love to fuss and fight

And bring a good man down

And don't know how to treat him

They say you ain't behind him

And just don't understand

And think that you're a woman

But actin' like a man

Hey Lordy mama

What you gonna do now



Get your nerves together, baby

And set the record straight

Set it straight

Let the whole round world know

It wasn't you

That cause his bitter fate

All these years you loved him

And he knows it's true

'Cause what you're wantin'

For your man

Is what he's wantin', too

Hey yeah

Tell me what you gonna do now



When you love a man enough

You're bound to disagree

'Cause ain't nobody perfect

'Cause ain't nobody free

Hey Lordy mama

Tell me what you gonna do

What you gonna do
