Momma’s Broken Heart

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name ‘til the neighbors called the cops
I numbed my pain at the expense of my liver
Don’t know what I did next all I know I couldn’t stop
Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
My mama’s phone started ringing off the hook
I can hear her now sayin ‘She ain’t gonna have it
Don’t matter how you feel it only matters how you look

Go and fix your make up girl It’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start acting like a lady
Cause I raised you better
Gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
Well this ain’t my mama’s broken heart

Wish I could be just a little less dramatic
Like the Kennedy’s when Camelot went down in flames
Leave it to me to be holding the matches, when the firetrucks show up and there’s nobody else to blame
Can’t get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
Sometimes revenge is a choice you got to make
My mama came from a softer generation
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face

Go and fix your make up girl It’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start acting like a lady
Cause I raised you better
Gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
Well this ain’t my mama’s broken heart

Powder your nose, paint your toes
Line your lips and keep them closed
Cross your legs, dot your eyes and never let them see you cry

Go and fix your make up girl It’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start acting like a lady
Cause I raised you better
Gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
Well this ain’t my mama’s broken heart
