Mama Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama, I don't love you anymore
Money's, got me crawlin' on the floor
Lover, I'm so ashamed that I must go
Funny, somehow I thought by now you'd know

[Chorus]
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

[Verse 2]
Mama, Please throw me out in the cold
Woman, The love you bought was never sold

[Chorus]
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

[Verse 3]
Mama, I don't love you anymore
Sorry, I'm not the boy you're looking for
[Chorus]
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

See the girl with they eyes on fire
Now he know she's the one he desires

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
