From Mistrial (1986) by Lou Reed

Mama's Got a Lover (Reed) - 4:12

Mama's got a lover
A painter I am told
She's getting out of real estate
For the art scene down in old Soho
Art scene down in old Soho

Mama's got a lover
He owns a gallery
She says he likes collages but
The money's in graffiti
Money's in graffiti

Mama's got a lover
I met him yesterday
She says she hopes I like him
Maybe I'll send him a card on father's day
Father's day

Mama's got a lover
They're backing a film
It's about a working mother
Who gives birth to black and white Siamese twins
Black and white Siamese twins

Mama's got a lover
He's got something to say
He says he's into dirt and rot
The essence of "urban decay"
"Urban decay"

Mama's got a lover
We met yesterday
She says she hopes I like him
I'll send him a card on father's day
On father's day

Mama's got a lover
I met him yesterday
She's starting a new chapter
I wish she was on the last page
The last page

Mama's got a lover
We met yesterday
She says she hopes I like him
I'll send him a card on father's day
Father's day

Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)
Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover), oh
Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)
My mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)

Mama's got a lover ...
