Hello, who's speaking
Mama, I didn't think it was you
I've had a hard time reaching you
Now mama, don't start crying
Don't worry, I'm all right you see
You know how he's mistreated me
If I'd stayed at home
What would people say
After all that's happened
It doesn't matter anyway
Mama, your little girl gets lonely
In a big old town like this
I wish I had my teddy bear to sleep with
But mama, how are you
Yes, I'll call you in a week or so
My time is up, I'll have to go
My time is up, I'll have to go
