Ever since Monday I've seen it comin'
When I say, what's wrong, she just says, nothin'
Well I ain't about to let it go
?Cause I've loved her long enough to know

When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
Daddy's gonna make mamma happy tonight
I got a limo waitin', dinner reservations
A corner table with candlelight
We're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
Daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight

I see in those green eyes, her redhead temper
And she can make July cold as December
I love her every way she is
But brother, I've discovered at times like this

When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
Daddy's gonna make mamma happy tonight
I got a limo waitin', dinner reservations
A corner table with candlelight
We're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
Daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight

When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
Daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
I told the babysitter, fix a macaroni dinner
Try to get the kids in bed by nine
We're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy
Daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
