When you wake up
In the morning
Baby look
Inside your mirrow
I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'd be curious to know
If you can see yourself
As clear
As someone
That I've got on my mind
Mama
You've been on my mind
Well, perhaps it's the wind
And the dark
Dark night that's covering
The crossroads that I'm at
And maybe it's the weather
Somethin' like that
But mama
You've been on my mind
Mama
You've been on my mind
Well
I don't need trouble
Please don't put me down
I am not pleading
I won't say I'll forget
And I won't pace a floor
Bout down
And bent but yet
Mama
You've been on my mind
Even though
My mind is hazy
And my thoughts
Where might be narrow
Where you been
Don't bother me
Or bring me down
With sorrow
It don't matter to me
Where you
Waking up tomorrow
But mama
You've been on my mind
Mama
You've been on my mind
(Repete 1 estrofe)
Mama
You've been on my mind
