[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, you
What would she do?
What would grandma do, do, do?
[Verse 1]
On a Monday night, the rose and crown was a man watching me (Yeah, yeah)
He had the refrigerated log, a demena, he bit the ball told with his teeth off (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
He has all but had trouble in his eyes and a smile to start a fire (Yeah, yeah)
There inside my dull, uninspired heart, mm (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
Fast forward to a couple of weeks and I think I've fallen in love (Yeah, yeah)
He doesn't have anything going for him but has a little red car he calls her Carly (Carly)
I'm sitting beside him with my hand in his pocket and we're driving, we know where to go
But how it soothes my aching soul (But how it soothes my aching soul)
Ooh, woo-woo-woo
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, "Take your time, baby, you can go both ways"
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, doo-doo-do better (Woo-woo-woo)
Girl, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don't make this mistake
Grandma calls the boy "Bad News"
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh (Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
And she says that I can do better, do, do-do-do better
[Verse 2]
On a Tuesday morning in his bedroom I lay tangled in his arms (Yeah, yeah)
He still lives in his mother's house but it does that to his charms (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
I lay my head on his tattoo chest that spells out Carpe Diem, baby (Yeah, yeah)
Then he asked me to be his lady the God think well (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, "Take your time, baby, you can go both ways"
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, doo-doo-do better (Woo-woo-woo)
Girl, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don't make this mistake
Grandma calls the boy "Bad News"
[Bridge]
And she calls the boy
Bad, bad news, baby (Oh-oh-oh)
Running, running, 'round town with her baby
Fall into her knees and she's praying (What would grandma do?)
And then she cussin' me out on the phone
She'd told me get a con, get my ass back home
When will I come to my senses?
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, "Take your time, baby, you can go both ways"
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, doo-doo-do better (Woo-woo-woo)
Girl, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don't make this mistake
Grandma calls the boy "Bad News"
[Outro]
And she says that I can do (Yeah, yeah)
Do-do-do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)
And she think that I could (Yeah, yeah)
Do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)
But she thinks that I could (Yeah, yeah)
You could do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)
But who knows if or will I want or won't do (Yeah, yeah)
Do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)
