Lyrics:

(Rick GilesTim NicholsGilles Godard)Ever since MondayI've seen it comin'When I say what's wrongShe just says nothin'Well I ain't about to let it goCause I've loved her long enough to knowWhen Mama Ain't Happy, ain't nobody happySo daddy's gonna make mama happy tonightI've got a limo waitin' and dinner reservationsA corner table with some candlelightWe're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honeyI wanna see the sparkle back in her eyesWhen mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happySo daddy's gonna make mama happy tonightI see in those green eyesHer red-head temperAnd she can make JulyAs cold as DecemberWell I love her every way she isBut brother I've discovered at times like thisWhen Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happySo daddy's gonna make mama happy tonightI told the babysitter, fix a macaroni dinnerAnd try to get the kids in bed by nineWe're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honeyI wanna see the sparkle back in her eyesWhen mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happySo daddy's gonna make mama happy tonightWhen mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happySo daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
