[Verse 1:]
My mama told me that you was kinda bad
She said a guy like you ain't my kinda man
She said that you was trouble
And you wouldn't have my back
But the way you had me goin'
From the jump you was my man

You're nowhere to be found
What am I to think?
The way you doing be
Santa be letting me down
[Hook:]
Shady Holiday

Yo mama told me you was no good, wouldn't last
But when I'm with you, wanna lick my lips and say damn
Cause I can't imagine what I'd do without you
Even though sometimes I think
That I'm not happy with what I have
