No Man's Mama

(album: Leaving Eden - 2012)

You may wonder what's the reason
For this great big smile
Say, I haven't been so happy
For the longest while
Got a big load off my mind
Here's the papers, sealed and signed
And the judge was nice and kind
All through the trial
This ends the five-year war
I am myself once more

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 screaming, "There, I know how
A fella feels getting out of jail"
I've got twin beds
And I take pleasure in announcing one's for sale

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