Mother's Daughter
Santana · Other Songs - Santana
Your stupid game is about to end.
You played it out.
Thought you had it made.
And it looks like someone passed you by again.
I left her standin' in her corner
She told me she was tryin' to find her way.
I've got to leave before I get much older
Cause she ain't moved in nearly forty days.
I've got a woman that's treatin' me better.
She takes her time and she ain't so cruel.
I've got someone to take you over
Your mother ain't so bad,
What happened to you?
