Words by Ben Harper - music by Ben Harper / JP Plunier

Can you tell me why you're so uptight
out of your head and ain't talkin' right
Can you tell me why your mind ain't straight
out of touch and can't relate

Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'

Everybody's talkin' 'bout keepin' it together
but I see people splittin' when there's inclement weather
What you want is what I want so why can't we agree
if I could be inside of you maybe I could see why

Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy - Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin' - yeah

Now you and I ain't spoken
ain't spoken for a week
soon there won't be nothin'
nothin' left to speak
Things ain't the same since you've gone insane
let's take some time and ease the strain

Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
Daddy's slippin'
Mama's trippin'
