Break mama, break
break down and cry
you can break mama, break
break down and die

if you don't mind breakin
and youre heart can take the achin'
you can break mama all the time

i got nothing but them 2 dollar shoes
ain't nothing quite like those rhythm and blues
so take your chances with a man who dances
cause' you know he can't refuse

and you can break mama, break
break down and cry you can
break mama break, break down and die
if you don't mind breaking and your heart
can take the achin you can break mama
all the time

well I know a place we can hide from the weather
honey, i know a place we can make love together
but if your daddy says no, then i guess you can't go but you can't stay home forever

I can hear the band playing just like the wind
I can hear them saints go marching in
but if you forget it then you may regret it
cause' I won't be back again
