Текст Carolina Chocolate Drops – No Man’s Mama

You may wonder what’s the reason
For this great big smile
Say, I haven’t been so happy
For the longest while

I can go where I please, I can come when I please
I can flit, fly and flutter like the birds in the trees
Because I’m no man’s mamma now

I can do what I like, I can say what I like
I’m a gal who is on a matrimonial strike
Because I’m no man’s mamma now

I’m screamin’, «There, I know how
A fella feels gettin’ out of jail»
I’ve got twin beds
And I take pleasure in announcin’ one’s for sale

Am I makin’ it plain? I will never again
Drag around another ball and chain
Because, I’m no man’s mamma now

I can smile, I can wink, I can go take a drink
And I don’t have to worry what my hubby will think
Because, I’m no man’s mamma now
Are you gettin’ it yet?

I can spend what I choose, I can play and sing the blues
And there’s nobody messing with my ones and my twos
Because, I’m no man’s mamma now

I’ll tell you there was a time
I used to think that men were grand
No more for mine
I’ve gone and labeled my apartment «No Man’s Land»

I got rid of my cat, cause my cat’s name was Pat
Won’t even have a mailbox in my flat
Because, I’m no man’s mamma now

Am I makin’ it plain? I will never again
Drag around another ball and chain
Because, I’m no man’s mamma now
