If Momma Ain'T Happy, Nobody's Happy

We made love, and then we fell in love Not knowing what it really was… Love’s just not a dream, a home, kids, pets and things.. But it allows us to see the beauty they bring But there’s one thing that I’ve learned beyond a real doubt If you you’re so unhappy that you want to shout it out That you don’t have a clue, and you're real unhappy cause… If momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy If momma ain’t happy, then nobody’s happy Your twenties and your single friends were running short Maybe you had a wish to be free from the sport Of choosing a mate that some call soul Not leaving it to fate to take its toll, hey hey.. You’re a great companion, a lover, and a mom But you’re hiding emotions that if don’t come unstrung Will overshadow the good and the joy in your life I pray you’ll find peace somewhere in all the strife But there’s one thing that I learned beyond a real doubt If you you’re so unhappy that you need to shout I don’t want to sound like I’m down or sappy, but… If momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy If she ain’t happy, then nobody’s happy The new you is looking for some validation Not just merely for peer admiration Something all yours, made on your own I’m with you all the way, you always known.. I live with the fear I’m just along for the ride I think you’re leaving me, tough thing to hide I want you to know its breaking parts of me away To see you so distant each and every day But there’s one thing that I’ve learned beyond a real doubt If you you’re so unhappy that you need to shout it out That you don’t have a clue, and you feel real scrappy cause… If momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy I said if she ain’t happy, nobody’s happy Everyone has days that some call blue I’m here to listen with an ear that’s true I still make you laugh, its important to say You can make your own mark without drifting away Our kids, dogs, and even our horses too Are joyful souls because of me and you I often picture what our twilight years’ll bring Two old lovers laughing, not too serious a thing There are some things we should never be without Family, God’s love, we should shout it out You always have my heart, I pray your dreams come true You can count on me, you know I love you.. I do But there’s one thing that I’ve learned beyond any doubt If you you’re so unhappy that you want to scream and shout That you don’t have a clue, and you're real unhappy cause… If momma ain’t happy, then nobody’s happy… Momma please be happy, i pray you’ll be happy… Momma please be happy, i pray you’ll be happy…
