Can you tell me why

you're so uptight

out of your head

and ain't talkin' right



Can you tell me why

your mind ain't straight

out of touch

and can't relate



Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'



Everybody's talkin' 'bout

keepin' it together

but I see people splittin'

when there's inclement weather



What you want is what I want

so why can't we agree

if I could be inside of you

maybe I could see why



daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'



You and I ain't spoken

ain't spoken for a week

soon there won't be nothin'

nothin' left to speak



Things ain't the same

since you've gone insane

let's take some time

and ease the strain



Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'

daddy's slippin'

Mama's trippin'
