Yeah!  Tell your moms to mind her business



Your mom's in my business, she's in my business

Can't you see girl that your mom's trying to end this?

Your mom's in our business

Now tell your moms to mind her business "Before I let go"



Your mom's in our business, she's in our business

Can't you see girl that your mom's trying to end this?

Your mom's in our business

Now tell your moms to mind her business "Before I let go"



When I first met your moms, I gave your mom respect

But now I see she knows me, I see that she suspects

I'm some bad guy, I don't know why

You have to tell your mother lies about you and I

But when your first told me, she said that I was a no-no

Cause of my haircut and people call me Solo

Before the time you said, you really didn't care

Now you tell me to change my name, or even cut my hair

How would you ever go become somebody's wife

And at the age of 22 you let your mother run your life?

Me, I'm not the type to tell your moms to get lost

Yell out loud to flip and get my point across

See I think you should tell your moms to leave us two alone

And stop reading our love letters and evesdropping on the phone

Cause if you really liked my, you'd let your mommy know

She gotta mind her business "Before I let go"



Your mom's in our business, she's in our business

Can't you see girl that your mom's trying to end this?

Your mom's in our business

Now tell your moms to mind her business "Before I let go" [x2]



Remember your sister and her boyfriend Sam Seed?

Your momma's the real reason why your sister lost her man

Her and sam went together, for a real long time

But Sam controlled her body while your mom controlled her mind

Not saying she was hurt when your moms made 'em break up

Deep down I could tell, though, your sister wanted to make up

With Sam, because she wanted to become his wife

And now she can't do that because your mother runs her life

You baby, you do the same things, too

You always want to to the crazy things your mommy wants you to do

Like when we went to the movie, she had to come along

I went back and forth and forth and back for peanuts and popcorn

She took advantage, cause I was living fat

I couldn't even watch the movie, she kept me running back

For something that she wanted somewhere else in the store

I walked and got it all til the man said there's no more

And when I got back to the car, she took her time to move over

When I sat in the car, my movie was like over

I was mad, hurt, I didn't want to talk

Deep down I wanted you and your mommy both to walk

I took you home anyway, like what the heck

Cause I was raised to treat people's mothers with respect

But when we got to your home, we wasn't left alone

She waited there in the car with us until I headed home

You called me on the phone, saying you were alone

But that's a lie because I heard your moms breathing on the phone

And if you really like me, let your moms know

She should mind her business "Before I let go"



Your mom's in our business, she's in our business

Can't you see girl that your mom's trying to end this?

Your mom's in our business

Now tell your moms to mind her business "Before I let go" [x2]



Without a doubt, me, like when I come to your house

She'll ask me crazy questions and start looking in my mouth

Her friends start laughing and I feel just like a jerk

I told 'em I don't know where my mom and dad work

I really know where they work, but that's between them and me

I can't be putting mom and dad's business in the street

Cause if I told her that my family  both work for the state

Right after that she would've asked me how much money do they make

Then she'd go around the town, bragging and boasting

Telling the neighborhood what my family's grossing

Your moms, your moms, why is she so nosey?

She plays me like a game but I'm no ring-around-the-rosey

I even seen your dad at the family barbeque

He said "I don't see nothing wrong with my daugher seeing you"

But it's your wife mister, she don't think that I'm charming

She thinks she's Mr. Whippit and she thinks I'll squeeze her Charmin

I promise I won't do this to your daugher, calm man

Cause when I'm with girls, my reputation is not harming

If I'm not on tour, I'm working out at my house

I'll pick your daugher up sometime, and I'll even take her out

And every time I try to do this, I see without a doubt

Your wife will follow me around like a cop on a stakeout

And when I told the man that, I thought he would help me out

Til he said "I can't tell her nothing, she'll kick me out the house"

See, I know you girls, I know you girls, I know you girls, I know you girls

Mothers love you, and they're concerned

But if you don't solve your own problems, then how can you learn?

And guys, if you're in a relationship like this

Don't be afraid to tell your girlfriend tell your moms to mind her business

But after me and you girl, I'd rather stay Solo

Because your moms can't mind her business, I'm a have to let you go

Because your mom is in my business



Your mom's in our business, she's in our business

Can't you see girl that your mom's trying to end this?

Your mom's in our business

Now tell your moms to mind her business "Before I let go" [x2]
