Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama's going to tell you 'bout her dream last night All about you men that don't treat us right Something [?] you don't need no [?] Since you've got your own stubborn plan Listen 'bout this dream to get it fixed just right Listen 'bout your mama's dream last night I'm going to tell it, going to [?] All about the dream I want you to know About the dream I want you to know [Verse 2] The sweetest old dream I ever had The way we were loving was just too bad Cool kind loving in a strange new style When we got started it nearly set me wild Mama's got something like a sleeping pill When it starts working, I can't keep still Just want you men to thoroughly understand You better treat us good or we won't need no man Or we won't need no man [Verse 3] Soft like butter, rough like grease Drives me nearly crazy, had to call the police Felt so good and happy, had to scream Hoped that I would never wake up from this dream Low and easy, mama, no rough stuff I just had to holler, can't get enough All you wailing sisters, get in line Just have to tell you 'bout this strange dream of mine, I mean dream All about this strange dream of mine [Verse 3] Soft like butter, rough like grease Drives me nearly crazy, had to call the police Felt so good and happy, had to scream, ooie! Hoped that I would never wake up from this dream Low and easy, mama, no rough stuff I just had to holler, can't get enough All you wailing sisters, get in line Just have to tell you 'bout this strange dream of mine, I mean dream All about this strange dream of mine
