Well,  perhaps it´s the colour of the sun  cut flat
 An´cov´ring,  the crossroads I´m standing at
 Or maybe it´s  the weather  or something  like that
 But mama,  you´ve been on  my mind.
 Well, I don´t  mean trouble, please don´t bring me down don´t  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,  or bring me down in sorrow,
 Well, it  don´t even  matter  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 calling for you to go
 I´m  just breathin´  to  myself,  pretending 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  curious  to know  if you  can see yourself  this clear
 As someone  who has had you on his mind.
 They performed it on MTV as a "bonus performance" (TRL).
