Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
And cov´rin´ the crossroad I´m standing at,
Or maybe it´s the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.
I mean no trouble, please don´t put down don´t get upset,
I am not pleadin´ or sayin´, "I can´t forget you".
I do not pace the floor bowed down an´ bent, but yet,
Well, mama you been on my mind.
Even though my eyes are hazy an´ my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don´t bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I don´t even mind who you´re be wakin´ with tomorrow,
But mama you been on my mind.
I´m not askin´ you to say words like "yes" or "no",
Please understand me, I have no pleace i´m calling you to go.
I´m just wispering to myself so i can´t pretend that I don´t know,
Mama, you just on my mind.
When you wake up in the morning´ , baby take a look inside the mirror.
You know I won´t be next to you, you know I won´t be near.
