1. By the way he looks across his shoulder,

 

    and the way he sees things through his eyes,

          A                                                                 - E

    it’s impossible to disguise, he’s a mama’s boy.

                E

    So confusing to my sense of humour is the way he hurts so easily,

           A                                                         - E

    oh, anyone can see, he’s a mama’s boy.

 

                A                                         Am                                         E

First  he holds me too softly, then he touches me barely, mama’s boy !

                A                                          Am

Then he loves me too quickly, always everything but manly,

               E                   B7

mama’s boy, mama’s boy !

2. It’s a funny kind of situation, can’t relate to what is happening,

          A                                                                - E

    I’m tired of making time with a mama’ s boy.

            E

 It’s an insult to my sense of living, well, it seems I’m doing all the giving,

        A                                                                         - E

    I can’t waste one more night, he’s a mama’s boy.

3. First she tied him to her apron strings,

 

    now he needs her advice on everything,

           A                                                       - E

    oh, anyone can see he’s a mama’s boy.

                          E

    Don’t know why he gets involved with women,

 

    he’s a closet case with all the trimmings,

              A                                                           - E

    he’s such a pretty thing, he’s a mama’s boy.

 

 

 

               A        - Am                  E

+  Na na na na .......... mama’s boy !

               A        - Am                  E                  B7

    Na na na na .......... mama’s boy, mama’s boy !

               A        - Am                  E

    Na na na na .......... mama’s boy ….
