Don't you let it get nex to you Before you only get what's due you Why I was a boy, and I broke a toy I could always run to mama, and talk it over Now, she knew just what to do she knew just what say, to help to pull me through She told me Don't you let it get next to you Before you only get what's to you Don't you let it get next to you before you only get what's due you So, now I'm a man and I understan When my little boy fall and breaks his toy I know just what to do to pull him through Don't you let it get next to you (no need to worry) Before you only get what's due you Don't you let it get next to you Before you only get what's due you Don't you let it get next to you (trust your mother, cause she knows what to do, baby) Before you only get what's due you Don't you let it get next to you Before you only get what's due you
