Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News

Yeah, yeah (do better, do, do-do-do)

Yeah

I said, girl, you can do (do better, do, do-do-do)

What would she do?

What would grandma do, do, do?

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

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"

Oh-oh, oh

And she says that I can do better, do, do-do-do

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, but I think, "Well

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"

And she calls the boy

Bad, bad news, baby

Running, running 'round town with her baby

Falling to her knees and she's praying

And then 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

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"

And she says that I can

Do-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

You could do better, do, do-do-do

But who knows if I will, I want or I won't do

Do better, do, do-do-do
