Lyrics: Paul McCartney
Music: Paul McCartney
Momma gets by while papa gets high
She makes enough to raise a family
She's working all day to bring in the pay
She's taking good care of me
Giving me every opportunity
And if it rains
She never complains
She's tough enough to make it through the storm
Papa gets back and heads for the sack
As soon as he steps inside the kitchen door
But she doesn't mind
She's seen it all before
She doesn't care
She's got her own philosophy of life
It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to be his wife
And even though he's complicated
She takes it in her stride
What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside
She loves him
She loves him with all her heart and soul
All her heart and soul
Because she loves him
She loves him with all her heart and soul
All her heart and soul
Well, she doesn't care
She's got her own philosophy of life
It wasn't too long ago when she agreed to be his wife
And even though he's complicated
She takes it in her stride
What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside
She loves him
She loves him with all her heart and soul
All her heart and soul
Because she loves him
Yeah, she loves him, with all her heart and soul
With all her heart and soul
Momma gets by
While papa gets high
Momma gets by
