Lyrics
Yeah, your mother was cheaper

Every time that I see her
Suggesting that the speaker thinks about the partner's mother every time they see her.
And she got the right motion
Acknowledging the mother's physical attractiveness or appeal.
But she ain't got no devotion
Indicating that despite the physical attraction, the mother lacks emotional commitment or dedication.
And I still think about this
Reflecting on past experiences and memories.
And all the things I thought I'd never miss
Recalling things that the speaker never expected to miss.
We went real off track

Yeah, girl, none of this time is coming back

As you're pulling me closer

Always been that dramatic

Life's been less fun without it

And I still think about this

And all the things I thought I'd never miss
