Lyrics
Mama You've Been On My Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
And covrin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you've been on my mind
Oh I don't mean trouble, please don't bring me down or get upset
I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you."
I do not walk the floor bowed down on knees, but yet
Mama, you've been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter to me if you're wakin' up tomorrow
But mama, you've been on my mind.
I don't need you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I'm not callin for you to go
I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know
But mama, you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'm just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
