Momma’s Wearin’ Makeup
Well I woke up this mornin’-------------- V1
To that familiar sight
Daddy’s lookin’ guilty and
Momma looks a fright
He musta come home drunk again
She had to pay the price
One thing that’s for certain
This just isn’t right
Momma’s wearin’ makeup------- Chorus
To cover up the truth
He’s been beatin’ her again
That’s the honest truth
He swears that he loves her
On the coming morn
That doesn’t stop her from wishin’
She was never born
Well what makes him so angry---------- V2
That momma has to pay
She’s done nothing wrong
He needs to go away
I’ve made up my mind
This is the last time
He will hurt my momma
It is such a crime
Momma’s wearin’ makeup------- Chorus
To cover up the truth
He’s been beatin’ her again
That’s the honest truth
He swears that he loves her
On the coming morn
That doesn’t stop her from wishin’
She was never born
When he comes home tonight----- Bridge
I’ll meet him at the door
On my lips a warning
In my hand my 44
His suitcase is on the steps
He won’t want to come back
For he’ll find me waitin’
Ready to attack
Momma’s wearin’ makeup------- Chorus
To cover up the truth
He’s been beatin’ her again
That’s the honest truth
He swears that he loves her
On the coming morn
That don’t stop her from wishin’
She was never born
