LyricsMama, What Should I Do? Yves Stilmant © 2025[Verse 1] He's out there cuttin' hay with a crooked grin That ballcap's low, but I still see him Diesel jeans and a jaw like stone Why's the farm boy gotta look that grown? I'm on this porch with my heart in knots Boots on the rail, watchin' him a lot He don't say much, just tips his brim And I'm fallin' harder than I planned again [Pre-Chorus] I'm just a girl with a reckless heart So Mama, tell me where to start [Chorus] Mama, what should I do? He's got me twirlin' in my Sunday boots Should I bake him pie or shoot my shot? Play it safe or give it all I got? He don't know he's lit this flame And I ain't one to play no games Is it love or somethin' new? Mama, mama, what should I do? [Verse 2] He fixed your gate with a busted hand Said, "Yes, ma'am" like a gentleman That southern drawl hit me too strong I been hummin' his name like a country song I ain't shy, but he's got me shook I've re-read every flirty look I could ride over, maybe fake a chore But Mama, I ain't done this before [Pre-Chorus] You always said "go chase what's true" Well I'm chasin' him -- now what would you do? [Chorus] Mama, what should I do? He's got me twirlin' in my Sunday boots Should I bake him pie or shoot my shot? Play it safe or give it all I got? He don't know he's lit this flame And I ain't one to play no games Is it love or somethin' new? Mama, mama, what should I do? [Bridge - Lainey-style sass + soul] She said, "Girl, love ain't somethin' tame It's a backroad fire, not a picture frame So if he's the one that sets you free Don't tiptoe -- go let him see" [Final Chorus - Bigger, gritty finish] Mama, I know what to do Gonna stomp right up in my boldest boots Say, "Hey boy, what's stoppin' you?" Life's too short for playin' cute He lit the spark, I'll bring the flame Let's see if he can stand the rain It might be love, it might be new But Mama... I know what to do [Outro - Slow, swampy fade] Yeah Mama... I know what to do |
