Little Tommy, he was runnin' home from school

Had a look of love, almost like a fool

Sittin' in his room heart steaming like a train

Waitin' for his dad to help him save the day



He's found a girl, the first one in his life

Needs advise, daddy's always right

Here comes the car, now he's seeing stars

Guess who's gonna get a shock

Could put him behind bars



What mama don't know

Won't hurt her, hurt her

What mama don't know

Won't hurt her



Probably thinkin' what's mama got to do

With the story Tommy told

To daddy's payback news

Papa fooled around, in his younger days

Now Tommy's brand new love, is sister Mary Jane



Tears runnin' down this heartbroken face

Daddy tries, tries to ease the pain

Says "Tommy listen up to what I've got to say

Don't let your mother know, or hell is on its way"



What mama don't know

Won't hurt her, hurt her

What mama don't know

Won't hurt her



Tears runnin' down this heartbroken face

He's gonna pack, and leave this place



Now mama knows

It hurt her, hurt her

Now mama knows

It hurt her

Now mama knows

It hurt her, hurt her

Now mama knows
