【Intro】 You say you need a little help You say you don't know what to do Well, honey, let me make this simple I'm your woman, not your mama 【Verse 1】 You leave your shirt there on the chair You leave your problems at my door You tell me every little thing Like I'm supposed to fix it all You want a little “good boy” praise For every little thing you do But I'm not handing out gold stars For what grown men are supposed to do You say you need me to remind you You say you need me to decide But baby, if you want a partner You better bring your own two feet inside 【Pre-Chorus】 I love you, that's the truth But love don't mean I'll raise you too If you want me standing by your side You gotta learn to carry your own life 【Chorus】 I'm not your mama, no, no Don't come looking for her in me If you want your mama, go to mama She can tell you what a good boy should be I'm your woman, stand beside me Don't make me carry you around Even the little stones beneath your feet You gotta move them yourself off the ground 【Verse 2】 You trip on every little problem Then you wait for me to fix the way You act like every little setback Is something I should take away You want me saying, “Good job, baby” For making coffee or taking out the trash Well, congratulations, darling Now try doing it without applause A grown man knows when he's wrong And knows what he needs to make it right He doesn't wait for someone else To come and turn on all the lights 【Pre-Chorus】 I love you, that's the truth But love don't mean I'll raise you too If you want me standing by your side You gotta learn to carry your own life 【Chorus】 I'm not your mama, no, no Don't come looking for her in me If you want your mama, go to mama She can tell you what a good boy should be I'm your woman, stand beside me Don't make me carry you around Even the little stones beneath your feet You gotta move them yourself off the ground 【Bridge】 I'm not asking you to be perfect I'm asking you to be grown If you make a mess, clean it up If you make a choice, call it your own I don't need another child I need a man who knows his worth Someone who can stand beside me And still stand strong when I leave the room 【Call & Response】 [Lead] Who's gonna pick up your problems? [Backing Vocals] Not her! [Lead] Who's gonna tell you you're a good boy? [Backing Vocals] Not her! [Lead] Who's gonna move those little stones? [Backing Vocals] You are! [Lead] And if you want me by your side? [Backing Vocals] Stand up! 【Chorus】 I'm not your mama, no, no Don't come looking for her in me If you want your mama, go to mama She can tell you what a good boy should be I'm your woman, stand beside me Don't make me carry you around Even the little stones beneath your feet You gotta move them yourself off the ground 【Outro】 If you want your mama, go home She'll be waiting for you there But if you want a woman beside you You better meet me as a grown man I love you, that's why I'm saying Don't make me raise you up Stand on your own two feet, baby Then come stand beside me
