Intro: CCCG
We met young, we fell in love
FG
Aint that how the story always goes
CG
He’s got a car and a sweet heart
FG
He aint afraid to let his feelings show
CGFG
For the longest time I was trying to find a flaw
CGFG
Cause when somethings good theres always something wrong
CGFG
Then I met the problem; her name is Mrs. Johnson
CGFG
The woman who raised the man I thought was mine
CGFG
I swear that lady, is borderline crazy
CGFG
And she don’t think I’m good enough to be chosen by her only son
CGFCGC
And I think I’d rather be alone than call, his mother, my mother in law
CCG
She points out my imperfections
FG
As I’m headed in the wrong direction
CGFG
Can’t break the family bond apart so, I’ll just take the broken heart
CGFG
Man I thought we were gonna be forever
CGFG
But it was time for me to leave, the moment I met her
CGFG
She’s the situation causing all this separation
CGFG
That woman is the devil in disguise
CGFG
She loves her baby, so she’s always gonna hate me
CGFG
Cause she don’t think I’m good enough to be chosen by her only son
CGFCGC
And I think I’d rather be alone than call, his mother, my mother in law
CFCG
And she may be great under other circumstances
FCG
She may come around, but I aint taking chances, so
CGFG
She’s the issue thats got me drowning in these tissues,
CGFG
And I can guarantee you she don’t care
CGFG
As long as I’m long gone and he’s still there
CGFG
Cause she don’t think I’m good enough to be chosen by her only son
CGFCGC
And I think I’d rather be alone than call, his mother, my mother in law
