We met young, we fell in love Ain’t that how the story always goes? He’s got a car and a sweet heart He ain’t afraid to let his feelings show For the longest time, I was trying to find a flaw ‘Cause when someone’s good, there’s always something wrong
Then I met the problem, her name is Ms. Johnson The woman who raised the man I thought was mine I swear, that lady is borderline crazy And she don’t think I’m good enough to be chosen by her only son And I think I’d rather be alone than call His mother my mother-in-law
She points out my imperfections, says I’m headed in the wrong direction Can’t break the family bond apart, so I’ll just take the broken heart Man, I thought we were gonna be forever But it was time for me to leave the moment I met her
She’s the situation causing all this separation That woman is the devil in disguise She loves her baby, so she’s always gonna hate me ‘Cause she don’t think I’m good enough to be chosen by her only son And I think I’d rather be alone than call His mother my mother-in-law
She may be great under other circumstances She may come around, but I ain’t taking chances, so
She’s the issue that’s got me drowning in these tissues And I can guarantee that she don’t care As long as I’m long gone and he’s still there ‘Cause she don’t think I’m good enough to be chosen by her only son And I think I’d rather be alone than call His mother my mother-in-law
