Lyrics for Mama's Trippin'

Can you tell me why You're so uptight Out of your head And ain't talkin' right Can you tell me why Your mind ain't straight Out of touch And can't relate Mama's trippin' Daddy's slippin' Everybody's talkin' 'bout Keepin' it together But I see people splittin' When there's inclement weather What you want is what I want So why can't we agree If I could be inside of you Maybe I could see why Mama's trippin' Daddy's slippin' You and I ain't spoken Ain't spoken for a week Soon there won't be nothin' Nothin' left to speak Things ain't the same Since you've gone insane Let's take some time And ease the strain Mama's trippin' Daddy's slippin'
