Tell Mama sing and play along
You thought you had to find a good girl,
one to love you and give you the world.
Now you find that you've been misused.
Talk to me,
I'll do what you choose.
I want you to
tell Mama all about it;
tell Mama what you need.
Tell Mama what you want,
and I'll make ev'rything all right.
That girl you had didn't have no sense.
She wasn't worth all the time that you spent.
She had other man throw you outdoors.
Now the same man is wearin' your clothes.
I want you to
She would embarrass you anywhere.
She let ev'rybody know she didn't care.
Give me a chance, I've been beggin' you.
I just wanna take care of you.
I want you to
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.
