Mama's Got A Lover
Lou Reed

Mama's got a lover

a painter I am told

she's getting out of real estate

for the art scene down in old Soho

Art scene down in old Soho


Mama's got a lover

he owns a gallery

she says he likes collages but

the money's in graffiti

Money's in graffiti


Mama's got a lover

I met him yesterday

she says she hopes I like him

maybe I'll send him a card on father's day

Father's day


Mama's got a lover

they're backing a film

it's about a working mother

who gives birth to black and white Siamese twins

Black and white Siamese twins


Mama's got a lover

he's got something to say

he says he's into dirt and rot

The essence of urban decay

urban decay


Mama's got a lover

we met yesterday

she says she hopes I like him

I'll send him a card on father's day

On father's day


Mama's got a lover

I met him yesterday

she's starting a new chapter

I wish she was on the last page

The last page


Mama's got a lover

we met yesterday

she says she hopes I like him

I'll send him a card on father's day

Father's day


Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)

mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover), oh

Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)

my mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)

(Mama's got a lover)

(mama's got a lover)

(Mama's got a lover)

(mama's got a lover)

(Mama's got a lover)

(mama's got a lover)

(Mama's got a lover)

(mama's got a lover)

(Mama's got a lover)

(mama's got a lover)

(Mama's got a lover)

(mama's got a lover)
