“Tell Yer Mama” is sung by a scorned woman to the person who hurt her (ex-lover, neighbor, good friend gone bad, etc.) and essentially blaming the subject’s parents for raising them the wrong way.
I won't cry for you
When the night grows long
And I won't die for you
Because you done me wrong
So tell your mama I said hello
And that she raised you too damn slow
You're too damn slow
Too damn slow
'Cause I've been waiting
For your time
And I've been missing
Out on mine
So tell your father that I said so long
And thanks for raising you so damn wrong
You're so damn wrong
You're so damn wrong, so damn wrong
Tell Yer Mama was written by Norah Jones & Jesse Harris & Richard Julian.
