Momma Gets By
Mama gets by while Papa gets high
She makes enough to raise her family
She's workin' all day to bring in the pay
She's taking good care of me
Givin' me every opportunity
And if it rains, she never complains
She's tough enough to make it through the storm, mm-hm
Papa gets back and heads for the sack
As soon as he steps inside the kitchen door
But she doesn't mind, she's seen it all before
She doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life
It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to be his wife
And even though he's complicated, she takes it in her stride
What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside?
She loves him
She loves him with all her heart and soul
All her heart and soul
Because she loves him
She loves him with all her heart and soul
All her heart and soul
Well, she doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life
It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to be his wife
And even though he's complicated, she takes it in her stride
What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside?
She loves him
She loves him with all her heart and soul, all her heart and soul
Because she loves him
And she loves him with all her heart and soul
With all her heart and soul
Mama gets by while Papa gets high
Mama, kiss bye
Mamá se las arregla
Mamá se las arregla mientras Papá se droga
Ella gana lo suficiente para mantener a su familia
Trabaja todo el día para traer el dinero
Me cuida muy bien
Dándome cada oportunidad
Y si llueve, nunca se queja
Es lo suficientemente fuerte para salir adelante en la tormenta, mm-hm
Papá regresa y se va a la cama
Tan pronto como entra por la puerta de la cocina
Pero a ella no le importa, ya lo ha visto todo antes
A ella no le importa, tiene su propia filosofía de vida
No hace mucho tiempo que aceptó ser su esposa
Y aunque él es complicado, ella lo toma con calma
¿Qué son sus tonterías comparadas con lo que siente por dentro?
Ella lo ama
Lo ama con todo su corazón y alma
Con todo su corazón y alma
Porque lo ama
Lo ama con todo su corazón y alma
Con todo su corazón y alma
Bueno, a ella no le importa, tiene su propia filosofía de vida
No hace mucho tiempo que aceptó ser su esposa
Y aunque él es complicado, ella lo toma con calma
¿Qué son sus tonterías comparadas con lo que siente por dentro?
Ella lo ama
Lo ama con todo su corazón y alma, con todo su corazón y alma
Porque lo ama
Y lo ama con todo su corazón y alma
Con todo su corazón y alma
Mamá se las arregla mientras Papá se droga
Mamá, un beso de despedida
