Raye Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah (Do better, do, do-do-do), yeah
I said, girl, you can do (Do better, do-do-do, ooh)
What would she do?
What would grandma do, do, do?
[Verse 1]
On a Monday night at the Rose and Crown was a man watching me
He had the refrigerated lager demeanor, bit the bottle top with his teeth, oh
He has auburn hair and trouble in his eyes and a smile to start a fire
There inside my dull, uninspired heart, mm
Fast-forward to a couple of weeks and I think I've fallen in love
He doesn't have anything going for him
But has a little red car, he calls her Carly (Carly)
I'm sitting beside him with my hand in his pocket and we're driving with nowhere to go
But how it soothes my aching soul
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, "Take your time, baby, you can go both ways"
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, do-do-do better
Woo-woo-woo, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don't make this mistake
Grandma calls the boy bad news
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh (Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
And she says that I can do (Do better, do, do-do-do)
[Verse 2]
On a Tuesday morn' in his bedroom, I lay tangled in his arms
He still lives in his mother's house, but it does add to his charms
I lay my head on his tattooed chest that spells out "Carpe Diem," baby
Then he asked me to be his lady, gotta think 'bout
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, "Take your time, baby, you can go both ways"
Girl, what would your daddy say?
Oh, said I could do better, do, do-do-do better
Woo-woo-woo, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don't make this mistake
Grandma calls the boy bad news
[Bridge]
And she calls the boy
Bad, bad news, baby
Running, running 'round town with her baby
Falling to her knees and she's praying (What would grandma do?)
And now she cussin' me out on the phone
She told me get a car and get my ass back home
Hoping I will come to my senses, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Well, what would your mother say?
She said, "Take your time, baby, you can go both ways"
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, do-do-do better
Woo-woo-woo, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She'd get on her knees and pray that I don't make this mistake
Grandma calls the boy bad news
[Outro]
And she says that I can do (Do better, do, do-do-do)
And she thinks that I should (Do better, do, do-do-do)
But she thinks that I could (Do better, do, do-do-do)
But who knows if I will or won't or I won't do (Do better, do, do-do-do)
