In this vibrant and catchy tune, Mat Kearney explores the complexities of a romantic relationship characterized by contrasting personalities. The narrative unfolds through vivid imagery, depicting a woman with dreams and desires that are both enchanting and elusive. Her reluctance to commit fully is juxtaposed with moments of affection, symbolized by holding hands when she's upset. Kearney's repeated plea for no drama and simple gestures of love underscores his desire for stability and genuine connection amidst their differences. The chorus's refrain, "Hey mama," serves as an affectionate call to his partner, emphasizing his commitment despite their dissimilarities. Ultimately, the song captures the push-and-pull dynamics of love where mutual acceptance and small acts of tenderness pave the way for enduring partnership.
Hey Mama
Lyrics
She don't know what she wants to be
With all the pictures in the magazines
Holding hands when she's mad at me
'Cause she don't wanna go, don't wanna go
I met her at Anthropologie
Purple boots and her golden dreams
Standing there like a Tennessee queen
Singing, don't look at me, don't look at me
Singing, oh oh
Won't you help me sing this song
Singing, ee ee ee
She don't ever want to go to sleep
Singing, hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey lover, don't want no other
Finger for my ring
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
I can see it in her Cherokee eyes
Those baby browns and the golden thighs
What you doing for the rest of your life?
'Cause you don't want to go, don't wanna go
Singing, oh oh
Won't you help me sing this song
Singing, ee ee ee
She's playing like a mystery
Singing, hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey lover, don't want no other
Finger for my ring
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Couldn't be more opposite
I'm hard to please and you're hard to get
You're Mississippi and I'm Oregon
You're sun-tanned and I'm porcelain-skinned
Singing, hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey lover, don't want no other
Finger for my ring
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
