Lyrics

You thought you had to find a good girl,

(Bb)one to love you and (C)give you the world.

(Dm)Now you find that (C)you've been misused.

(Bb)Talk to me,

I'll (C)do what you choose.

I want you to

(Bb)tell Mama all about it;

tell Mama what you need.

Tell Mama what you want,

and (F7)I'll make (Bb)ev'rything all right.

(Dm)That girl you had (C)didn't have no sense.

(Bb)She wasn't worth all the (C)time that you spent.

(Dm)She had other man (C)throw you outdoors.

(Bb)Now the same man is (C)wearin' your clothes.

I want you to

(Dm)She would embarrass you (C)anywhere.

(Bb)She let ev'rybody know (C)she didn't care.

(Dm)Give me a chance, I've been (C)beggin' you.

(Bb)I just wanna take care of you.

I want you to

(Bb)tell Mama all about it;

tell Mama what you need.

Tell Mama what you want.

Tell Mama what you want right now.

Tell me.

Tell your Mama.

Tell Mama what you want right now.

Tell me.

Tell your Mama.

Tell Mama.
