mama s got a lover

Lou Reed

Mama?s got a lover
A painter i am told
She?s getting out of real estate
For the art scene down in old soho
Art scene down in old soho

Mama?s got a lover
He owns a gallery
She says he likes collages but
The money?s in graffiti
Money?s in graffiti

Mama?s got a lover
I met him yesterday
She says she hopes i like him
Maybe i?ll send him a card on father?s day
Father?s day

Mama?s got a lover
They?re backing a film
It?s about a working mother
Who gives birth to black and white siamese twins
Black and white siamese twins

Mama?s got a lover
He?s got something to say
He says he?s into dirt and rot
The essence of ?urban decay?
?urban decay?

Mama?s got a lover
We met yesterday
She says she hopes i like him
I?ll send him a card on father?s day
On father?s day

Mama?s got a lover
I met him yesterday
She?s starting a new chapter
I wish she was on the last page
The last page

Mama?s got a lover
We met yesterday
She says she hopes i like him
I?ll send him a card on father?s day
Father?s day

Mama?s got a lover (mama?s got a lover)
Mama?s got a lover (mama?s got a lover), oh
Mama?s got a lover (mama?s got a lover)
My mama?s got a lover (mama?s got a lover)

Mama?s got a lover ...
