Angelique-O
[Chorus]
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Your mama got to take you back
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Teach you all the things you lack
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Your mama got to take you back
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Teach you all the things you lack

[Verse 1]
He never got time to sweep the dirt
Mama got to take you back
He never got time to wash a shirt
Mama got to take you back
He never got time to cut and peel
Mama got to take you back
You think you can make it on sex appeal
Mama got to take you back

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama's got to take you back
Teach you all the things you lack
When she sends you back to me
We'll live together in harmony
[Chorus]
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Your mama got to take you back
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Teach you all the things you lack
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Your mama got to take you back
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Teach you all the things you lack

[Verse 2]
He never learned how to make a stew
Mama got to take you back
Your biscuits, Lord, I can hardly chew
Mama got to take you back
De pants I'm wearing is full of holes
Your mama got to take you back
While you're running around in a big mink stole
Mama got to take you back

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama's got to take you back
Teach you all the things you lack
When she sends you back to me
We'll live together in harmony
[Chorus]
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Your mama got to take you back
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Teach you all the things you lack
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Your mama got to take you back
Angelique-O, Angelique-O
Teach you all the things you lack
