Lyrics

[00:13.630] When you talk to her talk to her
[00:15.380] Like it was somebody else
[00:16.750] Talk to your mama
[00:18.560]
[00:19.490] Dont get smart
[00:20.340] But I have a heart to heart
[00:22.100] And just like you would
[00:23.590] Would you doubt us
[00:26.030] Cause everything you do or say
[00:29.350] You got to live with everyday
[00:31.480]
[00:32.850] Shes somebodys baby
[00:34.460] Shes somebodys sister
[00:36.090] Shes somebodys mama
[00:37.580]
[00:38.960] Now when you go to her
[00:40.640] Speak truthfully
[00:41.720]
[00:43.450] Honest as you can be from your heart
[00:45.080] Youre in a situation
[00:47.010] But youre losing patience
[00:48.690] Take your time and look her in the eyes
[00:50.940]
[00:51.560] When you just cant find the words you want
[00:53.930] And its hard to reach a point
[00:55.430] Where you both can understand
[00:56.180]
[00:58.860] Dont just tell the truth
[00:59.860] But tell the whole truth
[01:01.230] Itll make a better man out of you
[01:04.530]
[01:05.420] When you talk to her talk to her
[01:07.220] Like it was somebody else
[01:08.530] Talk to your mama
[01:09.710]
[01:10.780] Dont get smart
[01:11.900] But I have a heart to heart

[01:40.420] Treat her the way your mama talked you to
[01:43.850] She could be the queen shieber, she could be a school teacher
[01:49.260]
[01:50.570] A homemaker or lawyer
[01:53.140] I think its good for your comma
[01:55.960] Cause when you talk to her
