You Nearly Lose Your Mind
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Well, if you love your mama and you treat her right
But she keeps a fussin' at you every day and night
She's triflin' on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind.
But if your mama's good I'll tell you what to do
Give her lots of lovin' and what she wants to do
She'll trifle on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind.

Now I've been lots of places not much I ain't done
But when it comes to women I just don't trust a one
Because they'll trifle on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind.
You come home to your mama find your clothes ain't clean
You can bet you're slippin' if you know just what I mean
She's triflin' on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind...
But she keeps a fussin' at you every day and night
She's triflin' on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind.
But if your mama's good I'll tell you what to do
Give her lots of lovin' and what she wants to do
She'll trifle on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you nearly lose your mind.

You Nearly Lose Your Mind
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns deliver a soulful gospel track on their 1993 Bear Family release, The Three Bells. The song reflects the group's signature blend of traditional church music and contemporary R&B influences, characteristic of their work during the late 1980s and early 1990s. With its emotive delivery and driving rhythm, the recording captures the spiritual intensity often found in Brown's discography. It stands as a testament to the group's ability to translate the fervor of the church into a polished studio performance that resonates with listeners seeking authentic soul and gospel expression.
