When the big hand is on twelve and the little hand on six

You come home tonight and no more childish pranks

You come home from work real quick or your mama get stick

Yes your mama get stick and mama spank



Every night you don't come home from the way you're out alone

Who would ever think that you're a married man

I would guess your age to be twenty eight going on three

So I'll speak in a language you can understand

When the big hand is on twelve...



Yes I know you like to play but we've got our bills to pay

And the kids need shoes much more than you need fun

Up to now I've been too mild you've been acting like a child

So I'll have to just start treating you like one

When the big hand is on twelve...
