[Verse 1]
Mama taught me manners since the day that I could speak
So when I fall in love I know their parents will like me
I would practice “Thank you, ma'am”
And know just how to shake their hands
Doesn’t change a thing
My God, I was so naive
[Chorus]
But I get good grades and I always pay
And I always make her breakfast
But her mama prays that it’s just a phase
And one day we’ll all forget this
“But I’ll meet her once” she said
“If you pretend to just be friends”
So then she could stomach it
No, I can’t please her dad
‘Cause he’s begging hеr to bring home a boyfriend
He could bе a loser, a fucking abuser
At least then he says he could stomach it
[Verse 2]
Drop her off at the parking lot just across the street
We wait until it gets dark just to make sure that her parents don’t see
She covers up her neck and wipes my lipgloss off her cheek
And God, I’m willing to bet I’ll live and die locked up in secrecy
[Chorus]
But I get good grades and I always pay
And I always make her breakfast
But her mama prays that it’s just a phase
And one day we’ll all forget this
“But I’ll meet her once” she said
“If you pretend to just be friends”
So then she could stomach it
No, I can’t please her dad
‘Cause he’s begging her to bring home a boyfriend
He could be a loser, a fucking abuser
At least then he says he could stomach it
[Bridge]
It don’t make sense to me
I’m just trying to be patient
I could give up easily
But my baby’s worth the wait
It don’t make sense to me
I’m just trying to be patient
I could give up easily
But my baby’s worth wait
[Outro]
“But I’ll meet her once” she said
“If you pretend to just be friends”
So then she could stomach it
And they don’t know just yet
That their son’s got a new boyfriend
He’s kept a secret, he’s just like me but
They can’t stomach it
