Lyrics
DON?T MESS WITH ME, I?M SOMEBODY?S MOTHER
C. 2002 Sally Fingerett,
She?s sitting at a red light, waiting for a green light
When the Porche Carrerra comes on speeding through
She puts on her siren, she?s heading out to chase him
Gonna hand him a citation with ?how do you do?.
She says ?I clocked you going 80?
He says, ?Little lady, girl you must be crazy,
honey are you sure?? (Honey, are you sure???)
CHORUS: She says...
Don?t mess with me, I?m somebody?s mother,
I?ve taken on much tougher than you.
I?ve given birth to sons and daughters,
I part the waters then I walk through.
She?s runnin? up the coursteps, with her purse and briefcase
Grabs her robe and gavel, says ?Here comes the judge?
She?ll hear the prosecution defend the constitution
Gonna hand down her deciscion you know she will not budge- ?Case Closed!?
CHORUS: She say?s...
Don?t mess with me, I?m somebody?s mother,
I?ve taken on much tougher than you.
I?ve given birth to sons and daughters,
I part the waters then I walk through.
BRIDGE:
Don?t mess with mama, don?t be a fool,
The hand that rocks the cradle that?s the
hand that makes the rules baby.
Don?t mess with mama, you know what I mean
Like when Mary said to Joseph, ?better get that stable clean?
Baby don?t you bug her, remember your own mother
If you?re gonna go up against her,
Just remember she?s a sure and steady boulder?.
CHORUS:
Don?t mess with me, I?m somebody?s mother,
I?ve taken on much tougher than you.
I?ve given birth to sons and daughters,
I part the waters I walk through.
TAG
I?m gonna Walk on, walk on, Walk on, walk on
I?m gonna part the waters I?m gonna walk on through Walk on.
Walk on, walk on, Walk on, walk on
I?m gonna part the waters just like Mrs. Moses, Walk on
Walk on, walk on, Walk on, walk on
I?m gonna part the waters I?m gonna walk on through.
