lyrics

Don’t suggest what I’m thinking
I’m gonna be truthful
When I feel you’ve laid down all your arms

You’ve always got good intentions
I know you’re no devil
But I grow weary when you play the part

I just need to be heard
Speak my mind without questions
And feel easy

I’m no problem to solve
My troubled heart just needs time, Dear
A slow healing

Oh Mama, oh Mama
Listen to my song
My mind is full of worry
My heart is full of doubt

Give me space and some freedom
To be what I’m feeling
Gain some footing on this shaky ground

Babe, you’ve gotta believe me
I wanna be near you
But for now I need to be alone

There are times I am strong
And other times I am weak, Dear
I won’t argue

There are days I believe
And other days I am doubtful
My heart fading

Oh Mama...

We hold a love that always shakes things up
We hold a love that makes us carry on

Oh Mama...
