Mom’s Flip-Flops

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mom said, “Clean your room” I said, “I’ll do it soon” Then she found my socks In the cereal box She gave me that look Like a scary little book I said, “Okay, okay” Then I hid the cake [Pre-Chorus] She knows my moves She reads my mind One raised eyebrow And I fall in line [Chorus] Mom, mom, run the house Mom, mom, quiet down She says “one more time” I say “yes, ma’am” Mom, mom, run the house Mom, mom, shut me down I’m the king till she walks in Then I’m just her fan [Verse 2] She packed my lunch With a note that said “Try” And I laughed out loud At the apple pie She found my phone Under my bed Then she texted me “What did I just read?” [Pre-Chorus] She knows my tricks She knows my face I blink too slow I’m in my place [Chorus] Mom, mom, run the house Mom, mom, quiet down She says “one more time” I say “yes, ma’am” Mom, mom, run the house Mom, mom, shut me down I’m the king till she walks in Then I’m just her fan [Bridge] She can hear a lie From a mile away She can fold my pride Like laundry, anyway I tried “cool” She said “nope” Then she fixed my collar And my hope [Final Chorus] Mom, mom, run the house Mom, mom, quiet down She says “one more time” I say “yes, ma’am” Mom, mom, run the house Mom, mom, shut me down I’m the king till she walks in Then I’m just her fan [Outro] Mom, mom, run the house Mom, mom, that’s my town I act all tough Then I hear that sound Mom, mom, run the house Yeah, she runs me now
