Momma (Gonna Say No)

          That day we broke up
          Plays in my mind like a movie.
          How much I wanted to scream
          How you just moved onto her smoothly.

          It's been a couple of years since that fateful day.
          I've had better lovers since then.
          And oh poor you, you were just
          another pawn in her game.

          Now you're coming runnin' back to me
          like I'm your loving Momma's arms.
          I bet Momma never taught you your tricks.
          I bet you Momma would agree that

          You blew your chance with me
          You blew all that there could be
          You need to go away
          I don't want to play your game

          You see I've grown up
          I've grown stronger.
          I realized I could live with out ya
          You weren't the center of the universe.

          And I see you're nothing but a toddler
          A toddler wanding around.
          You think you're the center of attention.
          "Look at me! I'm a big boy now."

          And now you want to come runnin' back to me
          like I'm your loving Momma's arms.
          I bet your Momma would never approve
          of your childish moves.

          You blew your chance with me
          You blew all that there could be
          You need to go away
          I don't want to play your game

          You blew your chance with me
          You blew all that there could be
          You blew the one girl that stood for happiness
          You blew away all love possesed

          You always looked for greener grass.
          Never knowing what you had.
          You wanted more then what was of me.
          You see light now but the light is out of your hands

          And now you want to come runnin' back to me
          like I'm your loving Momma's arms.
          But Momma gonna say no

          And now you want to come runnin' back to me
          like I'm your loving Momma's arms.
          But Momma gonna say no

          Now you're coming runnin' back to me
          like I'm your loving Momma's arms.
          I bet Momma never taught you your tricks.
          I bet you Momma would agree that

          You blew your chance with me
          You blew all that there could be
          You need to go away
          I don't want to play your game

          You blew your chance with me
          You blew all that there could be
          You blew the one girl that stood for happiness
          You blew away all love possesed

          And now you want to come runnin' back to me
          like I'm your loving Momma's arms.
          But Momma gonna say no
          But Momma gonna say no
          Say no

Writer's note:
This work was specifically written as if it was a song a hip singer of today would sing on the radio. The only bad part is that I can't write music. So "Momma" is going up on the site as a writing.
