Mother-In-Law

[Verse 1]

We met young, we fell in love

Ain't that how the story always goes?

He's got a car and a sweet heart

He ain't afraid to let his feelings show

For the longest time, I was trying to find a flaw

'Cause when someone's good, there's always something wrong

[Chorus]

Then I met the problem, her name is Ms. Johnson

The woman who raised the man I thought was mine

I swear, that lady is borderline crazy

And she don't think I'm good enough to be chosen by her only son

And I think I'd rather be alone than call

His mother, my mother-in-law

[Verse 2]

She points out my imperfections, says I'm headed in the wrong direction

Can't break the family bond apart, so I'll just take the broken heart

Man, I thought we were gonna be forever

But it was time for me to leave the moment I met her

[Chorus]

She's the situation causing all this separation

That woman is the devil in disguise

She loves her baby, so she's always gonna hate me

'Cause she don't think I'm good enough to be chosen by her only son

And I think I'd rather be alone than call

His mother, my mother-in-law

[Bridge]

She may be great under other circumstances

She may come around, but I ain't taking chances, so

[Chorus]

She's the issue that's got me drowning in these tissues

And I can guarantee that she don't care

As long as I'm long gone and he's still there

'Cause she don't think I'm good enough to be chosen by her only son

And I think I'd rather be alone than call

His mother, my mother-in-law
