Sweet young thing ain't sweet no more   Sweet young thing ain't sweet no more   Mama found her draped over the toilet bowl      Oooh      Mama said, "child, what you done? "   Mama said, "child, what you done? "   "wake up and greet the midday sun"      Sweet young thing ain't sweet no more   Sweet young thing ain't sweet no more   Mama's little pills spilled all over the floor      Oooh   Oooh, ow, ow, ow      Mama can't handle her on her own   Mama can't handle her on her own   She says, "you just wait till your father gets home"
