I'll Ask Mama

B G♯m E F♯

I said I wouldn't Bcall him

I said I knew the cost

But now I'm wearin' G♯mperfume

That smells a little lost

I typed out "you upE?" and paused

Heart racin', red alert

I said I'd never F♯go back

But I've done dumber things in skirts

I could blame the Ewine

Or this old F♯T-shirt

But if I press G♯msend

Someone's gonna get hurt

So I'll ask EMama

She'll talk me F♯down

Say, "Baby, if it's Blove, you don't F♯/B♭need to chase it 'G♯mround"

She'll say "You called me Elast time with the same regF♯ret"

So I'll ask EMama

F♯Just not yeBt

He said he's Bchanged, of course he did

They always do when you forget

I got his G♯mnumber in a folder

Marked "We Don't Text"

But I Emiss the sound he made

When he said my name half wrong

Like he F♯never fully got me

But I still played along

Mama said, "BThe nice ones'll kill you quicker"

But silence hurts G♯mtoo

And I'm a slow forgiver

So I'll ask EMama

If I should F♯reply

Maybe she'll remBind me of the F♯/B♭last goodG♯mbye

She'll say, "Did he say Esorry or did you just forgF♯et?"

So I'll ask EMama

F♯Just not yet

G♯m7 F♯/B♭

BMama saiEd,

"If you gotta Bask me,

then F♯you already know"

And she was Eright

But knowing ain't the Bsame

As not wanting to F♯go

So I asked EMama

She didn't say F♯much

Just looked at G♯m7me with eByes that had enough

She said, "I won't Estop you But I won't preF♯tend"

"If you go back, G♯mbaby, G♯m7don't call me again"

So EI hung up the phone

F♯Put down the threat

And Bwhispered to the ceiling,

"Not G♯m7yet"

I'll ask Emama, when I'm F♯ready

To Bhear what I already know
