My Mother-In-Law by Etta James Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1968

[Intro]
Woo

[Verse 1]
Sick and tired of your mother
Tellin' me what to do
She's always stickin' her nose in my business
It seems I married her instead of you

[Chorus]
Oh, my mother-in-law (Mother-in-law)
Oh, she makes me sick (Mother-in-law)
Oh my mother-in-law (Mother-in-law)
I've got to get away from her quick now (Woo)
Got to get away from her quick (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
I've tried and tried to get along, but nothing I do is right
If she can't mind her business
I'm telling you what I'm gon' to do
I'm packing my bags and leaving tonight
[Chorus]
Oh, my mother-in-law (Mother-in-law)
Oh, she makes me scream, oh-ooh-hoo (Mother-in-law)
Oh, my mother-in-law (Mother-in-law)
It's worse than a horrible dream now (Woo)
Oh yeah, she's worse than a horrible dream (Yeah)
Woo

[Bridge]
Somebody's got to go (It won't be me)
It's either her or me (It won't be me)
I'm sick and tired of your mother
There's not enough room for us three

[Chorus]
Oh, my mother-in-law (Mother-in-law)
Oh, she worries me so (Mother-in-law)
Ooh, ooh, my mother-in-law now
You know she's got to go now (Woo), ooh yeah
You know she's got to go (Yeah)

[Outro]
Oh, my mother-in-law
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
Oh, she worries me so
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
She drinks all of my booze
(Mother-in-law)
