Mama is having problems
Always comes to me
Your daddy's been a drinker since 1943
They tell you I'm a loser
'Cause I like bein' free
But truth is in the mirror
It's what they never see

I sing yeah
Long time ago
You tried to tell me, son
Keep our daughter home
I said no, no, no, no

Now, I don't mind them saying
That you should be praying
For me, fast taker

Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For keeps, fasttaker, bedbreaker, lovemaker
Take it away

Only sixteen
A woman not a girl
Old enough
For a trip around the world
Pick you up on Friday
When daddy goes to sleep
Bring you back on Sunday
When he's watching Billy Graham on TV
Oh, yeah, he won't see me

Now do it right with music
Then you learn how to use it
All night, fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For keeps, fasttaker, bedbreaker, lovemaker
Take it away
