So he says he loves you, wants you to be his wife
But he's too hooked on the crack pipe for that to be right
It's all lies, none of it's true
Though it hurts you know what you gotta do
Cut him loose, like a dirty needle you don't know where he's been
All I know is I seen him high when he says that he's clean
There was a grey patch when he first buss on the scene
But as the mystery unravelled all became black and white
Know what I mean, we can never be friends, he can go to hell
No more hanging round the house like a bad smell
Either he goes or I do
It's your decision mama, it's all on you
You're too old to be naive and I know you ain't ignorant
That's what's bothering me ma, cause you're going on different
I ain't never seen you loved up like this before
Why is it everybody but you can see you deserve more?
Mama, can't you see
What he's tryna do
To you and to me
Mama, it's so black and white
While you're sitting at home
He's out smoking crack tonight
And I can't go for that
No, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that
When I first met him, thought he was cool
Had a few things in common like supporting Arsenal
I saw the way he made you happy like a love fool
Calmed you down when times were hard, that was stressful
But all that don't amount to shit
When he starts acting like a little kid
Treating you as if you was some kind of bitch
Mama, you ain't rich, but still he borrows your money
And never pays it back cause every penny he gets he spends on that
Bad habit of his, fucking takes the piss
Bringing that slut into our house, that's the ultimate diss
Now I know you threw him out for that
But how long's it gonna be before you take him back?
Mama I know you're lonely, but you're the only
One who can't see that this bloke is a phoney
And he don't really care about you mum
He just says he does cause he fucking thinks you're dumb
Mama, can't you see
What he's tryna do
To you and to me
Mama, it's so black and white
While you're sitting at home
He's out smoking crack tonight
And I can't go for that
No, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that
My mama loves a crackhead
Is that what I'm supposed to tell my friends?
When they ask me how I'm doing am I supposed to pretend?
Act like there's nothing wrong when there blatantly is
Turn the other cheek when he's taking the piss?
Fuck that, that's not how the man of the house acts
I gotta defend my territory, guard my patch
When I know he's doing dodgy shit behind your back
Put my foot down, stand my ground and that
This has got to stop, whether the guy buns crack or not
His head ain't there, he's fucking lost the plot
Dead and buried is the apt phrase, can't even act right
Can't even act his age, that's so fucking lame
Thirty-something years old, he should feel ashamed
If I was him I'd slit my veins at the mains
Run a lukewarm bath and sit in it till my arteries drain
Do it right this time so I ain't gotta do it again
Cause there's nothing more pathetic than a cry for help
Either you do or you don't wanna kill yourself
Everybody knows you got a problem so it don't matter if you admit it
What you gotta do is be a man and fucking deal with it
I know the truth hurts mama, but this shit has gotta be said
He don't love you, he never has and that's a fact
Cause the only thing he really loves in this world is crack
Mama, can't you see
What he's tryna do
To you and to me
Mama, it's so black and white
While you're sitting at home
He's out smoking crack tonight
And I can't go for that
No, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, no
I can't go for that
No, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, no
I can't go for that
