[Intro ]
 
I (A) ain't go her, I ain't got a clue 
Of what I did and didn't do 
(D) All I know is I'm (E) wearing her number (A) out 
No explanation, it didn't take long 
For her to go and tell me she's gone 
My (D) mama would be a(E)shamed if she could see me (A) now 
Cause... 
 
I'm (D) back on the bottle, crying out loud 
I need holdin' and I need it now 
(A) Someone to rock me and then tuck me (D) in 
It takes a (E) mama twenty years to make a boy a man 
Another (D) woman twenty seconds to have him crawlin' a(A)gain 
 
He (A) made us furst, but He let them  
Be in control of the shape we're in 
And (D) every women knows (E) why Adam worshipped (A) Eve 
From the day we're born 'til the day we die 
We're at the mercy of a woman kind 
And like a (D) big ol' baby, (E) I miss her loving (A) me 
 
I'm (D) back on the bottle, crying out loud 
I need holdin' and I need it now 
(A) Someone to rock me and then tuck me (D) in 
It takes a (E) mama twenty years to make a boy a man 
Another (D) woman twenty seconds to have him crawlin' a(A)gain 
 
It takes a (E) mama twenty years to make a boy a man 
Another (D) woman twenty seconds to have him crawlin' a(A)gain 
 
It takes a (E) mama twenty years to make a boy a man 
Another (D) woman twenty seconds to have him crawlin' a(A)gain
